                         When you think that your life is hard, think again! After reading the diaries of these students, going trough hell everyday in their short 14 or 15 years of life, I think of how lucky I am. But i was wondering if they ever had one good memory of their life, because the complains went on and on.
            But none of them said anything good until their new english teacher Ms. Gruwell. For example this young girl named Eva, she is only 14 and has seen her father be taken to jail, her good friends getting shot at and also having to carry herself a gun. When I was 14 my biggest drama was not having the right outfit! In her life she has witnessed the separation of race, asians on one side, the blacks "ghetto" on another, the whites "rich" , and the latinos (Eva). By one passing another's territory is a declared war thats why they call it "la vida loca".
               When I hear these kids talk about territory. I didn't really understand why it was so important to them. They are kids not animals. But after many explanations, I understood that it was their way of respectiong and showing others that it was their place their home no ones else's.
