Summary of Anna Quindlen's Write for Your Life

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Anne Frank was a teenager who was living through an extraordinary experience, and to ground herself, she wrote everything she experienced down in a diary. She was writing about how everyone thought she was badly behaved, and how much she hated algebra and geometry.

#2 The ability to write was once reserved for the aristocracy and the clergy, but by the early twentieth century, literacy had been democratized, and people used words to connect with others like them.

#3 When she was a student teacher, Erin Gruwell took on a group of racist students, and instead of punishing them, she helped them express themselves through writing. They became close friends, and their journals became the confidants of kids who had a lot to talk about but no one to talk with.

#4 The Freedom Writers program was started by a teacher named Erin Gruwell, and it allowed her students to write about their own hard times and setbacks. It became a kind of lighthouse for those students who thought no one would care if they wrote about their own problems.
