Brief Summary Of Melba's Warriors Don T Cry

In Warriors Don’t Cry I think Melba is a very strong Warrior. I say this because she could have not went to Central High and she could have backed out of it instead of going to all the trouble. Melba knew a lot of white people were going to disagree with integration, especially the kids at school. She knew they were going try to do anything to get rid of her and her friends. But she was prepared and ready for the kids who might or may taunt her and call her bad names and she knew if she prayed every night and asked God to keep her safe and be by her side so that she could get through this year and graduate. But when she went to Central High School, she knew that fighting with the other white people would not solve anything but she knew her

words very well and she knew how to say it to them without getting in trouble. She was a warrior of integration more than anything else.
Melba didn’t use weapons on any one, she used her words for an example from the story when the kids started to taunt her and called her bad names, Melbas Grandmother told her to say thank you or something nice. So when the boy called her a nigger and she said “Thank You” like he said something nice. She realized that if she did something to hurt them like throw hot soup on one of the guys when he deserved it, he wouldn’t get in trouble, but she would. So Melbe thinks that using words is better than weapons or anything else. Whenever someone tried to do something bad to her, she either tried to get out of the mess without make a big commotion or say something right back to them nicely and after Minnijean got suspended she remembered that she wasn’t here to make fights with the white students, she was here to learn and graduate from Central High. Melba build up a lot of courage when she went to Central High. Even though when the kids taughnt her she even got stronger of saying nice things and her friendliness even grew more than ever. She became stronger after all the incidents have happened to her and she is still going to school everyday and not letting the teachers or kids get in her brain even though some of their sayings are very cruel and mean. But over all I think that Melba was a very brave child.
Melba went to the school each morning thinking what they were going to do to her, what prank or bad names they were gonna call her.

Melba went through a lot of battles each day. The kids at Central High School, like to do most to the little rock nine was to prank them a lot each day. They started easy with the pranks but then it started to get worse each day that passed. One of the battles that Melba fought was violence. When she was walking out of the locker room and was all ready for gym to play volleyball with the other white girls, the girls started to taught her and pushed her down and started to kick her hard were blood started to come out of her and also with a lot of scrapes on her knees. Another battle she fought that was the biggest was pranking. Between classes Melba had to go use the restroom and she thought that maybe no one would taunt her there but while she was using the restroom she heard girls giggling in the corner of the bathroom and she wanted to get out of there. But all the sudden when Melba looked up she saw fireball toilet paper coming down on her and Melba tried to swat them away but more kept coming down faster. One of them hit her dress and her new dress that her grandma and mama gave her was ruined. Melba decided to take action so she pick up her book and tried to throw it to aim one of the girls and she got one and then threw one of her other books and she got several girls and then they ran out of the bathroom. Another battle she fought was

name calling. In the hallway boys always call her bad names and when she is entering her classes, kids yelling out that “I don’t want to sit near a nigger” Each day Melba had to go through all the hurtful things that the white students were saying to her and the teachers did nothing to stop them from saying all the rude comments. Another battle that Melba fought was torture. When Melba was waiting until all the kids went into their classes, then Melba thought no one would be in the hallways so she went to get to her classes until she saw a guy coming towards her and she look back to her guard where he can't do anything but he whispered to her don’t move. Melba noticed that he caring a cloth and the next thing Melba felt something stinging in her eyes and it was burning her eyeballs. Until her guard came and told Melba that he's going to take her to the bathroom. Once they were there he ran cold water on her eyes where it stopped it from doing anymore damage than it has. Melba realized that her guard saved her from being blind.
I think that Melba had it really hard that year.

She didn’t wake up every morning, happy to go to the school and learn more things, instead she felt terrified wondering what was going to happen to her. Some days were not as bad like the others but there was some days that Melba could've really got hurt but she always found a way out without getting too injured. Kids just kept taunting her every moment of the day and the worst part was the teachers didn’t do anything about it. Even though they know she is a child too and that they should care that because she could get badly hurt and it would be the teacher's fault because they didn’t do anything about it or to stop

it.
