Cry‚ The Beloved Country "Cry‚ the beloved country‚ for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers‚ nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing‚ nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much." Cry‚ the Beloved Country

the melodious calls of birds desperately reaching for their families. Of the gentle buzz of pollinators. Of the cicadas’ cry. The quiescence‚ however‚ shattered instantaneously as a young boy crashed through the prickling bushes‚ his huffing and puffing scattering the little crickets. His bare foot catching a tangled root‚ Fleance stifled a shriek of pain as he collided face-first with the soggy ground. He did not move. He didn’t care that mud and grime littered his mouth‚ driveling out in slimy chunks

In the novel‚ Cry‚ the Beloved Country‚ written by Alan Paton‚ apartheid plays a big role in the story. Apartheid has been a problem for South Africa since the earlier nineteen hundreds because of the unjust society and heartbreaking rule of "white man’s law over a black man’s country‚" (Cry‚ the Beloved Country.)

October 5‚ 2010 Warrior’s Don’t Cry Book Review Warriors Don’t Cry is a gripping journal of Melba Pattillo Beal’s life during the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock‚ Arkansas.

I was able to feel compassion for Melba and really care about the difficulties she faced in life. She desired equality and she volunteered to be one of the very first black students to be integrated
