Tears of a Tiger
Justin Evans

Goodbye to love
This song goes along with the mood of the story because it is a sad song about losing a loved one. In the story after Rob and Andy pass away their families were very sad about losing them. This was a major plot point in the story.
Eye of a Tiger
Eye of a tiger relates to the story because Andy tells his brother multiple times in the story “it’s ok to put dragons in the jungle and tears on a tiger” the title of the story comes from this quote.
Basketball
The Theme of Tears of a tiger is basketball. This rising action of the story is when Andy, Rob, and 20B.J were celebrating after a huge win.
Basketball by Lil Bow Wow
I could imagine that this song is Robert Washington’s favorite song. The song talks about playing basketball. Rob always wanted to be on the court, or practicing his shot. That is why I think this song was Roberts’s favorite song.
Heaven wasn’t so far away.
After Andy and Rob died, their families wished they could see them again. In this song it talks about going to heaven for a day which is what they wanted to do

    This song explores an emotion we've all felt: a yearning to go back to the place where we grew up, to reconnect with the sense of security or simpler times we once knew, especially when our lives are troubled. There's tremendous appeal in this theme and it's handled well here. We're right there with the singer as she knocks on the door, talks to the people who live in the house, and describes the things that happened there as she grew up, all the while hinting at the troubles that have driven her back home to try to heal.…

    The song starts out with a strang questioning of reality: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality, Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see”. They first two lines are rhetorical questions. They help establish the state of mind needed in order to continue with the song. The third line is a metaphor. It means everything is crashing down on him, and he cannot escape it. It seems to conclude that he is caught between a dream and awakening. The next couple set of lines are being used as transitions into the main part of stanza one, “I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows, Doesn’t really matter to me, to me”. In the third and fourth line repetition is used in order to keep the lyrics flowing. The boy thinks his life doesn’t matter to anyone, his life is meaningless and the Earth does not care what happens to him. He does not care what happens next, he just wants it over; “any way the wind blows” him, he will go and it “doesn’t really matter” to him anymore. The next three lines show intent to kill by the boy, “Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead”. The boy has finally come to terms of what he has…

    Another meaning the title of Sharon M. Draper`s Tears of a Tiger can have is Andy`s feeling of being trapped in a “white man`s world”. Andy is just like the tiger, which is trapped in a cage in the zoo. One does not know how a tiger feels when it is trapped in a cage. One can only guess that the tiger is happy and satisfied living in a cage. Andy in this situation is just like the tiger. He is trapped and everyone guesses…
