Before I Read

I am very excited to start reading “Warriors Don’t Cry” By: Melba Beals. I really hope this book is a heartwarming tale about her struggle to accepted into an all-white high school. I selected this book because I am really interested in black history and I have always heard about them but I never knew in depth what they did. I also chose this book because I really liked the book and movie about Brown vs. Board of education and I feel like this is a continuation of that. I have heard that Melba Beals did an excellent job writing this book because it came from such a personal place, I can’t wait to read this book for myself. I really expect to enjoy this novel and be able to connect with it. “Warriors don’t cry” seems like a very compelling novel that people should read because people need to know what the little rock nine went through so that it does not happen again. While browsing through the book I saw that the format was verysimple and easy to understand I am so glad that I pick this book because I know by the end of it I will have learned something new, and that I will have a new perspective on life and not take things for granted anymore, because I know that if it wasn’t for Melba and her eight other friends African American children and caucasian children wouldn't be able to go to school together.
