Question

What is the author’s point of view and purpose in “Diary 24” from The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writers? Provide examples from the text to support your interpretation.

Answer 1

"Diary 33" has a confident and righteous tone. This tone helps the reader understand the personality or the voice of the author: she knows exactly what she's going to do and nothing is going to stop her. When she sees the little girl and the mother, her certainty is shaken. The tone also changes, becoming more unsure and less confident, which makes the reader aware of her moral dilemma. The imagery of the little girl and the crying mother helps the reader see how emotional the moral dilemma is for the author. In "Diary 24," the voice is informal and honest, which encourages the reader to trust the author. The tone ranges from sarcastic to frustrated, and the author addresses the audience as his equal.
