Hi guys! This time I'm going to summarise a book named "Warriors don't cry". This time the title's a bit longer than the last book I summarised, named Chains, but it doesn't really mean anything. (I mean the title length).This book, in my opinion, is also a very fun book that I would definitely recommend you to read.
From the book's cover, you can see that this book is definitely a book that you wouldn't read for humor. (or very "profound"). Like, how is four (look closely to see the other two) soldiers with nightsticks standing in front of a huge gate, escorting four people to a car funny? (I mean, if one soldier was like tripping over a banana peel, it would be funny, but the soldiers are not) However, although the book is pretty serious as it deals with racism and other serious issues, it is still a pretty great book with plenty of action.
The basic plot of this story is about a girl named Melba that is African-American, and one day, this law is passed that Americans and African-Americans both have to go to the same school is passed, and Melba gets an invitation, along with 9 African-American people to go to a regular school. You might now be thinking, "What's so special about going to a regular school?" Well, the answer is "nothing much" in the 21st century, but the answer is "a lot" in this time. This would probably be weird as Kim Jong Un suddenly going out of his country, and attending an American college. And from that point, as you could have guessed, trouble starts. Because the American kids do not like African-American kids attending the same school as them, or in my example, Kim Jong Un attending the same college as them, they start to bully Melba. ( I'm not saying that African-American people are like Kim, I'm just saying that this idea was as ridiculous as Kim attending American colleges.) Melba soon gets bullied from like everyone in her school. ( She does actually survive and goes out of the school and makes a huge milestone in reducing inequality along with the other eight African-Americans), but I'm not going to explain to that part.
Well, this was my summary of the book "Warriors don't cry" I sure am lucky to be able to be born in the 21st century where inequality has been greatly reduced. (I'm pretty sure that there is still tons of not equal scenarios happening, but I think that it should be smaller than in the 1960s. Sadly, this book is not part of a series, meaning that there is no next book that I could recommend.
