My personal feelings and thought on this particular diary entry is that it is sad how 168 innocent people died. Timothy McVeigh was a former Naval Officer who had radical thoughts on how America should jack up their security. McVeigh planted a bomb in Oklahoma City this was devastating as it is considered terrorism and killed so many of the innocent men, women and children.
Timothy McVeigh in my eyes got what he disserved because he killed so many people so he should be the one in prison for life or killed by the people that were affected by the bombing. The people of America have the right mindset in the way that if you kill someone then you are to be killed or spend the rest of your life in prison where you are not allowed to anything.
Oklahoma is a small city in the United States of America where people are loved and are happy. Timothy McVeigh decided that he was not happy with what was happening to America so he decided to give the people and the government a wakeup call.
My feelings on terrorists and killers are that they should not be let free and should be executed. The reason why I say this is because they hurt more people that they intended to hurt in the first place. Nobody will know why or what made these people crack so they killed so many people. God is the only person who should be allowed to take a life because he gave us all life. To the people who do not believe or agree with me and go out and murder somebody should be killed and let’s see how they like it and how it affects their families. Or even let the people who killed someone see the families of the victims so they know who is hurt and what it looks and feels like.

Diary Entry 15 Romeo and Juliet
In this diary 15 it describes how the young students are studding the play Romeo and Juliet. This play was written by Shakespeare. This specific character in the diary entry does not believe that the two families having a dispute and hating each other was not the rival gangs in Long beach.
Romeo and Juliet is an extraordinary play which portrays the way people think of disputes and holding grudges against people. I personally think that holding grudges against people is a good thing, because it brings out the personality of that particular person. Having disputes with people are good and this is because you have let our feelings out and mat bring a stronger relationship with the person you are having a dispute with.
Yes some people may have different thoughts than I do. This is because people are different have different perspectives this supports my argument that it is ok for certain people to have disputes and arguments.
The story of Romeo and Juliet is about two young people falling in love. They then fid out that they are from the families are having a dispute and do not like each other because of this dispute.
My feelings towards this diary entry are strong. This is because having arguments and disputes are part of everyday life. The way that the author tells the reader about his feeling and thoughts towards the story is that he disagrees with what Miss Gruwell is saying that the gangs throughout Long Beach are similar to the Capulet’s and Montague’s in the story of Romeo and Juliet.
My feelings towards this diary entry are that I agree with what the author is saying. You cannot compare people because you are unique and cannot be the same as anybody else in the world. People arguing and having disputes is part of everyday life.

Diary entry 9 Tagging
In this diary entry it describes the young girl’s misfortune on how she was forced into tagging for a particular gang in her area. The young girl lives in the ghetto in long beach and her neighbourhood is surrounded by gangsters and drug dealers. It also emphasises the racial tension in her neighbourhood because the gangs rule the streets. These gangsters cannot be ignored otherwise you could be shot or killed.
Tagging is something that many people think is bad and it should not be allowed. But I strongly disagree and think of it this way if these particular teens were not tagging then what would they get up to. In this particular diary entry she says that her only option was to tag otherwise she would have to become a drug dealer. Is this what we as a society want our children to become drug dealers, that’s all the cops need are more people to put into jail, other gang members have more targets and the cemetery will need more land. Would you want your children home for dinner or in a grave?
Yes tagging looks absolutely dreadful when driving past a wall, but you could ask the taggers to become creative and make some wall art whilst tagging. In South Africa when I was in the car and had to go through Soweto and the ghettos, we would go through a high wall with tags all over it and they turned all of these tags into wall art. It looks a lot better that just a spray of black paint. I personally think that it will keep them occupied and stop most of the violence within the community.
Some children like tagging it give them a thrill, so let them do it. Let them do what the love and it will become better and some people may make it a career.

Diary Entry 2 Racial Segregation
Diary entry 2 explains that this young man is the only white person in his English class and he is not comfortable with it. He wants to be somewhere else every English lesson and thinking that the school made a mistake and out him in wrong English class.
This diary entry conveys the racial segregation within the school and this is bad. Having this racial separation causes tension between the two groups and this is how the gang wars start because they all have grudges against each other. I personally think that racism is not very good because of the effects it has on the family and the victim of racism. If people are getting bullied about having a different belief or having a different coloured skin they could go into depression cause it is a form of bulling or they could hold grudges and start a mass murder on the perpetrator. The other big component that supports my argument is that god made us equal.
Coming from a country that has gone through discrimination of the maximum where people were not allowed to associate with other races. Living in fear is not fun, knowing that out on the street there are people that want to hurt you or your family because of the colour of your skin or what you believe in is scary and unimaginable. Having a security system in your house because the crime rate and the gang war, this will live with me forever and never leave me.
In the diary entry it says “nobody mixes” this needs to change because we cannot have our people having discomfort in the world due to the colour of your skin and if you believe in God or not. If this carries on we are soon going to be in world war three and with the advancement in technology and nuclear power the world will become a small dot with no life on it, within the universe.
