Theatre Of The Oppressed Rhetorical Analysis

Theatre can help children overcome their fear of public speaking, make them socialize with others, and teaches them to collaborate and work as a team, to be able to troubleshoot and think quickly in order to save a scene. Another thing Gunderson’s article said was that theatre can make young people feel empathy. In my opinion, this is completely true.

Introduction Freedom Writers is based on a true story set in America in 1994, where a first time teacher, played by Hilary Swank, faces a group of students who have been considered by the government as “un-teachable and at–risk” teenagers. These students represent street kids who have all witnessed street fights as well as the murder of their friends and family. The movie demonstrates the way non-white Americans are over represented in teenage homicides, incarceration, unemployed, poverty and poor educational outcomes, but also the way they are viewed in the media. The film also has several references to ghettos, street life, drug busts and continual involvement with the police. The target audience for this film is teenagers.
