In the book Warriors Don’t Cry Melba Pattillo is the main character of the story. Melba goes through hardship during this time of racial separation in school and society and problems at home. It started with her volunteering herself to go to an all white school called Central High. This story took place in the 1950s when there happen to still be whites and blacks only signs. I disagree with the question warriors don't cry is in fact very appropriate to be taught to tenth graders. First body paragraph Warriors Don't Cry is a very good educational reading. In the book it shows you a more emotional look into life during that time period. The reason warriors don't cry is appropriate to teach is it forces you to open your eyes up to this idea that real people around the same age as a tenth graders have done amazing things. Also your life is very privileged and things like racism a discrimination is real. This book shows key points on bravery strategy and lastly the importance of never giving up. Second body paragraph …show more content…

Her and Eight other friends, they each go through different obstacles in their new environment but Melba had to be the strongest of the nine. I think that each student that is taught this book or has been read this story will be able to appreciate life, what their teachers do for them and the world they live in today. Now a lot of the readers have said that it's brutal and graphic but i have to disagree. This story has parts that are brutal like how in chapter seven how she was spat on but still kept it

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 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.
