Warriors Don T Cry Book Report

In the novel, Warriors Don’t Cry, the author told her story of life in Central High School. The author, Melba Pattillo Beals, is telling her feeling toward the hatred her and eight other African American teenagers went through. She went further by telling their actions. The setting of the story took place in Little Rock Arkansas during the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s. I believe that this book should be appropriate for tenth graders because it will teach us how people was treated, the difference between the school system from then and now, and all about the racism that was happening. Melba was getting threatened and attacked in Central High School. No one listened to her because it was never witnessed by a school faculty member. This day and age, you do not have to take all the pain Little Rock Nine did. Black students and white students alike was able to defend themselves. Students do not have to the foolishness against the other students. Melba was even almost killed inside Central High but no one did anything about it. Now if you do that to anyone, you will be put in jail for harming also known as attempted murder. When Melba first experienced racism at birth for the cause of her sickness in her scalp. The problem with her delivery because she was a good-sized baby and
the doctor who delivered her used forceps and injured her scalp. She developed an infection in her scalp. There was an cure for the infection but the nurse didn’t tell Melba mother because she was black. They only way she knew there was a cure because of the janitor that was cleaning in the same place they was at. He told her that epsom salt and water will cure the infection out her scalp. Since the nurses didn’t want to help, mother Louis took care of it herself. Melba was also in plenty of danger by white kids and didn’t try to fight back. One day, Danny saved her from a flaming stick of dynamite thrown by a white student. She was even beaten up and told but didn’t no faculty member see it so they didn’t do anything about it. Even tho Danny see everything but his job wasn’t to tell what happens, his job is to keep Melba alive. Melba could have been lost her life in Central High but Danny didn’t let it happen. Melba Pattillo Beals took plenty throughout her childhood life while attending to Central High.
She was going through a lot of problems and even wanted to harm herself because of the problems she was having during school. In September of 1960, Central is again opened to integration, but only two of the nine students are readmitted. Melba got married to a man named John and had a daughter named Kelli. Then they split up seven years after their daughter birth because Melba wanted to be a reporter and work but John wanted a house wife. In my understanding in this novel you should never give up and always keep reaching your goal until you succeed the progress of what you reaching
for.
