Some people feel the need to protect there own, because of other gangs.

3.How and why was the drawing Tito made to make fun of Jamal for being black like the propaganda drawing, news articles, and advertisements that made Germans hate the Jews during the WWII era?
The drawing Tito made to make fun of Jamal was i picture of him with really big lips. The Germans and the Jew put advertisements in news articles to make fun of each other to make them hate one another.

The most famous gang in history was the Nazi, and there leader was Hitler, the Holocaust was when the Germans where persecuting Jews.

5. Why do the students hate white people and teachers?
The reason why students hate white people and teachers is because they are always telling them what to do and talking about them all the time.

6. "When you die for your own, you die a warrior. You die with respect." What do you think about Macus comment?
What i think Macus comment means if you die for your gang you die a warrior. So you die with the respect of your gang members.
7. How does Ms. Gruwell try to help students learn? Describe how she finds connections and makes resources available.
To help the students learn she teaches the students in a way they can understand, to make a connection with here kids she plays music that they like.

8. The other teachers are very different from Ms. Gruwell. Do you think she is a better or worse teacher? Explain.
I think she is a better teacher than the others because she actually tries to connect with the students, unlike the other teachers.

9. How did the line game make students realize things about each other and themselves? Did Ms. Gruwell win them over by showing an interest? What did you think about the line game?
It made them think that they are not the only one that has had bad things happen to them. I think she did win them over by showing them an interest in each other. I think it was a good thing to do because it made the kids see how much they are alike.
