3. In what way Zlata Filipovic impacted the students’ lives? Give examples from several writers. What really surprised the Freedom writers? Zlata Filipovic had a lot of courage and she loves life even if she saw a lot of sad things. The Freedom Writers were very amazed and they like her generosity.

4.In diary 47, the writer says: ”Now if you ask me what race I am, like Zlata, I’ll simply say, “I’m a human being.””How could you explain that quote? Do you relate to it? If she says that it's because she lived difficult moments because of the different race and for her everybody's egual. I think it's very beautiful to think like her. If everybody tought like her, a lot of war wouldn't take place.
