What would be a good thesis statement for The Freedom Writers Diary?

Much of this is going to be entirely dependent on what you
have to prove and what you are going to use as evidence.  Without knowing the exact
dimensions of the assignment and what needs to be proven, it will be difficult to
determine what would be a good thesis statement.  If you are looking for items upon
which to write, I would think that you could delve greatly into how Gruwell uses
literature to connect to the lives of her students.  In being able to identify the
issues of identity and acknowledgement of voice through historical content, she is able
to link content and student experience together.  Another topic to explore could be how
Gruwell uses the writing process as a way to build community.  In a process of
composition that is fairly individualistic and devoid of much in way of forging
connections, it might be really interesting to see how Gruwell makes writing a
communitarian element, merging the subjective with the collective.  This proves to be
quite compelling in the lives of the students and in the narrative of the classroom
setting, as well.  These might be topics where a good thesis statement could be
harvested and developed, but in the end, they are only
suggestions.
