Warriors Don T Cry Book Review

Cry Liberty: The Great Stono-River Slave Rebellion of 1739 was written by Professor Peter C. Hoffer, who taught as a historian at the University of Georgia. This novel is a brief, yet very informative piece of work that provides a re-examination of a series of incidents that occurred during the Stono Rebellion (which transpired on September 9, 1739). This rebellion manifested once a group of about 20 slaves had broken into a store alongside the Stono River, nearby Charles Town, which is now known as Charleston, South Carolina.

In 1957 there was a group called ‘’The Little Rock Nine’’ and they were a group of African American students who integrated Central High School in Arkansas, which was a predominantly white school. They all would go to this school every day until they were allowed inside, but this took much more than they probably thought. Once they approached the school the angry mob would verbally and sometimes maybe even physically abuse the nine children in and outside of school. So, when they were finally allowed into the school they were really looked down upon. But, that didn’t stop them; They continued to have their right of

During the story Warriors don't cry, Melba's life is inverted. Throughout the story , her tone changes as she goes through the ups and downs of Central High ; she uses imagery to show the cruelty the school and the challenges which was thrown upon her. By using certain words she brings her experience to life so the reader can understand what happened there, while she faces segregationists and their cruelty her voice changes in the story showing what this journey is doing to her.

In the novel, Warriors Don't Cry, the author, Melba Pattillo, describes what her reactions and feelings are to the racial hatred and discrimination around her, within this book she and eight other African-American teenagers receive in Little Rock Arkansas during the Civil Rights movement in 1957. These nine students became the first color people to integrate an all-white public school hoping that in the future, people of color that live in the same area could go to the same school because they will have the right to the quality education that white families have. The degradation of the Little Rock ' Central High wasn't predicted easy and throughout the school year, Melba goes through abuse, catcalls, and suffering. Throughout this book, it has revealed that

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt says that to grow as a person, someone must first be scared. People also have to do what they think is impossible to grow. The Little Rock Nine, who integrated Central High, were scared for their lives every day of their high school experience at Central High. The ideas shown in this quote are expressed in the memoir Warriors Don’t Cry by Melba Patillo Beals. Melba Patillo Beals was a member of the Little Rock Nine. Beals highlights conflict and metaphor in her novel and displays examples of Eleanor Roosevelt’s beliefs in action.

Making decisions in life is like growing a flower. Each and every day it may seem like nothing has changed, but later in the future, every choice one makes will lead to a blooming future. Some decision results little to no effect, while others, leave collateral damage affecting one’s life forever and those around them. Many ordinary decisions can end in regret; on the other hand, constructing a right decision can also leave great memories. The book I Am A Seal Team Six Warrior by Stephen Templin clearly interprets Howard E. Wasdin’s extraordinary life of becoming a soldier who protects the country he loves. Every single resolution causes different outcomes, and this book shows that sometimes ordinary decisions can lead to an extraordinary life.

Imagine getting up everyday before high school and preparing for war. For Melba Pattillo Beals this fear was a scary reality. In the beginning of “Warriors Don 't Cry: A Searing Memoir of the Battle to Integrate Little Rock 's Central High” by Melba Pattillo Beals, she begins talking about what it’s like to come back to the haunted racist halls of Little Rock Central High School.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a shining example of characters taking a stand for what they believe to be fair and just. TKAM is a very interesting book, set in a small town called Maycomb during the great depression and watch as people take stands from closed off and introverted Boo to wise and kind-hearted Atticus. I 'll be focusing on Boo and Mrs.Dubose and how they took a stand along with relating their stands with the stands of the “Little Rock Nine”.

The Little Rock Nine in Warriors Don’t Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals had tremendous courage and grit, persevering even when their lives were at stake because they knew it was for the greater good. However, Danny, a member of the 101st and Melba’s body guard, inspired me the most. Before coming to Central High to protect the Little Rock Nine, he had fought for a better future for others even if it meant risking his life. He knew that Central was a hostile and dangerous place for him, but he went anyway, putting his life on the line for someone he didn’t know. Danny may or may not have been in a situation like Melba’s before, but he sympathized with her, and befriended her by the end of the novel. Several times in the book, it mentions that Danny
