It's a book about a young girl who survives and treads through the days of school integration between blacks and whites  ]]> 2018-10-30 17:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/298637174 3076256 https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/309632162 with this being a book taking place during the 60's it obviously has a very strong theme of oppression and racism. later in the book the author adds in her feelings of seclusion and the fear from the constant mobs she would find her self being chased and beaten by. As evidenced by this quote "Melba, take these keys". "Get to the car. Leave without me if you have to"  ]]> 2018-11-30 03:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/309632162 3076256 https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/309638778 This story is a gripping autobiography from the eyes of someone on the frontlines of the civil rights movement it does a good job of keeping you invested and covers an interesting yet overused subject. What really stuck out to me is that she never had the victim mentality that most people have when faced with adversity the book shows how she learned to deal with it and ultimately uses what she learned to make a difference  ]]> 2018-11-30 04:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/309638778 3076256 https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/311151669 In conclusion Warriors Don't Cry is a gripping auto biography into an firsthand experience of integration into schools during the civil rights era that will take in so much detail that you will feel like you are there yourself but the book can be a little inactive at times. Overall the book does a good job of taking you into the life of Melba Patillo from the first word to the end  ]]> 2018-12-04 21:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/3076256/cs6vjny0g68f/wish/311151669
