    A reaction and summary to the book "Warriors Don't Cry", the book is about the intergration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957

    The book, Warriors Don't Cry, is a sad, yet encouraging story of a courageous young lady. At the age of thirteen Melba Patillo Beals volunteered to integrate Central high in Little Rock, Arkansas. On May 17, 1954 the Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas that separate schools for whites and blacks were illegal. Melba often dreamed of seeing the inside of Central High. The best education and preparation for college was believed to happen inside of those doors. When she finally told her grandmother and mother that she volunteered to integrate they began to fear for Melba's life. This memoir of Melba's diary and her mother's notes explain how she decided to integrate with eight other students and the profound struggles they faced in every day life. In 1957, her fate began. Two weeks after the first attempt to integrate Central High the "Little Rock Nine" stepped foot into the huge and overwhelming school. The nine of them faced extreme violence every day. The teachers and students never let them walk by without some kind of rude comment. Melba was tripped, kicked, spat on, and verbally abused. Every day she spent in Central High there was a new struggle to overcome. She held strong and would only cry when she was behind the doors of her bedroom. The only place she could escape reality. Melba was one of "God's Warriors".…

    Literary Analysis 12 Angry Men

    In the 1957 classic film, ’12 Angry Men’, the writer, Reginald Rose, portrays the antagonist, Juror #7, as a Christ figure. The writer’s use of a few conspicuous similarities made making the initial connection simple. However, the writer’s brilliant use of inconspicuous similarities made researching this paper very enjoyable. It amazes me that a writer takes the time to tuck little morsels of meaning just under the surface of his work. Let’s take a deeper look at ’12 Angry Men’.…

    Cowgirls Don T Cry Analysis

    The song I chose to analyze was “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” by Brooks and Dunn. This song’s lyrics really speaks to me because I was always told this when I was younger and I rode my horse. My Aunt would always tell me, “If you fall or get thrown, brush it off and Cowgirl up don’t you cry and get back in that saddle.” At first the tone is strong like the father was being towards the daughter telling her that “Cowgirls Don’t Cry”. Then as the lyrics go further on the tone changes and it gets sad because the girl knows that the one she has always looked up too and made proud is becoming weak as the child she used to be. There is deep imagery used in these lyrics when they are describing the dad giving the girl her first pony,…

    And Still We Rise

    The author's main motives in writing this book were to educate the audience on how truly diverse South Central really is. He showed that the neighborhood isn't just a place full of gang activity, rather a place with hidden successes. Corwin says, “In this book, the student’s value education, sacrifice much to further their educations, and overcome many obstacles-including sometimes even their teachers-in order to obtain their educations” (Corwin 6). These students who avoid the temptations of the street, who strive for success, who, against all odds, in one of America most impoverished, crime-ridden neighborhoods, managed to endure, to prevail and to succeed are the stars of the story. “In this book the students are the heroes and heroines, the ones with the inspirational stories,” Corwin says (Corwin 6).…

    Analysis Of Killing Rage: Militant Resistance By Bell Hooks

    Racism is a topic that is considered to be a very taboo topic and has most people walking on eggshells when talking about this topic. It opens up truths within people that they do not want to face or believe. Unfortunately minority groups are the ones that face the most brunt with racist remarks or actions constantly being thrown to them. The story Killing Rage: Militant Resistance by Bell Hooks talks about the brutal idea of racism in all its entirety. A striking fact that Bell Hooks comes to know is- “white rage is acceptable, can both be expressed and condoned, but black rage has no place and everyone knows it” (Killing Rage). In other words white rage is a common thing and is looked upon with praise, whereas black rage is foreign and is…

Jackson has a community that seems to be very racist and oblivious and close minded towards change and fait treatment towards citizens that reside there. The community seemingly split in two divided over an adequate racial line that has been passed down from generations to generations. Stern guidelines and regulations are put in place in order to separate the blacks and white. The writer gives us a glimpse of the Mississippian world back in the day and how maids were treated and the amount of racism and hatred that occurred in Jackson Mississippi. White Mississippians had been brought up and through social conditioning they had a mentality that prevented them to change their views and allow blacks to live the same luxury they had. Whites had more freedom blacks had, they allowed their communities to grow and flourish whereas blacks’ community became congested and overcrowded due to the restrictions preventing their community to grow “Jackson is just one white neighbourhood after the next” and “the coloured part of town be one big…
