27. Finding Paragraph 3

I asked how did Mrs. Gruwell come up with the students having life diaries ?
She said "I chose to use books written by, for and about kids who lived in wars, such as Anne Frank, Elie Wiesel and Zlata Filopovic (a young diarist from Bosnia and Herzegovina) in a response to a comment by a Freedom Writer: “Sometimes, I feel like I live in an undeclared war.” I wanted to encourage my students that the best way to fight that war was through words and not weapons."
