- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It seems to summarize the book okay, and could potentially be used as a decent reference for reminding yourself what happened in the book, however I don't suggest reading the whole thing through. It's really repetitive, telling you over and over again who the Little Rock Nine are, and in nearly every character description it says "happens to be the..." for their role or job. After you read about 20 characters who "happen to be" the president or whatever, it gets annoying.

Chapter One: About the Novel and the Author
Warriors Don't Cry
by Melba Patillo Beals was first published in 1994. The book primarily describes how the African American students had to face extreme racial discrimination in South.
However, a plan was made to send black children to an all white school, Central High School, but the first year they spent there proved to be extremely threatening and disappointing.
The nine African American children were called the Little Rock Nine. They were often threatened, harassed, beaten, raped, and even almost killed during the course of that first year they spent at Central High School.
The author, Melba Patillo Beals was born on 7th of December, 1941, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was born the same day the American fleet at Pearl Harbour was bombed by the Japanese troops. The day is now remembered as Pearl Harbour Day.
Lois and Will Patillo were her parents. She was born with a scalp infection. Owing to this infection she had to go through several significant complications. Since the author was African American, there was obvious prejudice against her, and consequently her health got further complicated because the white doctors and nurses did not do much to help her.
To her good fortune, her mother learned from a janitor who had overheard a doctor saying that Epson salts could clean the infection. The mother brought the salts and began to treat her at home. The author survived.
The time when the author was born was not easy for African Americans in the United States. There was racial segregation particularly in the southern states.
The society was visibly divided and the blacks and African Americans had to go through several difficulties. The society was legally segregated in those days.
When the Civil War ended, the Jim Crow Laws were introduced so that the black people could not advance. During the author’s childhood, the Jim Crow Laws were there, restricting the rights of the black people.
The author’s father used to work for the railroad, and her mother was a teacher. They had a much better lifestyle than most of the African Americans,
