The Girl Who Spelled Freedom This movie is called The Girl Who Spelled Freedom and Its about the Yang family that lives in Cambodia and that are trapped in this camp and are like slaves. You also have the other family the Thrash family, they see the article in the newspaper about the war in Cambodia and how they are struggling to survive. Then The Thrash family wants to adopt the Yang family. When the Yang family arrives at Chattanooga were the Thrashes lived they didn’t know how to speak any English. The Thrashes taught them English and they became fluid English speakers. The Girl in the story that spelt freedom was Linn Yang a little girl in the Yang family. She had this special drive to always win in everything and she did. She got first place in the spelling bee! That just shows you that no matter if you live in poverty or not you can do whatever you want if you set your mind to it.

This is an amazing store with lots of detail and has a great life lesson at the end.I think you should add a little bit on how Linn went to school.
