my memoir I'm reading is warriors dont cry by Melba Pattillo Beals . the main theme I'm getting form the first couple of chapters is how important education is to Melba. Melba is a 15 year old teenager in little rock Arkansas . Melba is a really smart girl that is one of the first black kids to ever step foot into a white school to learn .everyday she would be chased by the mob sometime she could have to circle that black a 12 times to be sure nobody in following her home to hurt her . me i think this is to much for me everyday having to deal with people trying to kill me . ill Polly kill myself from the pressure and i think that is amazing thing she did at only 15 years old . i could really relate to her today with some of the things she goes though like home she is always judged by her race not feeling safe with the people around her and not fitting in with everyone . once i was that person scared that people don't care for me everyone want me to die i think shes just a really strong person .one quote i real like is "i don't so how that will solve anything pretty soon,white folks will think its as okay to enslave us as it is to use solders to keep our kids out of school " i really like thins quote because back then black kids wanted to learn fully now and days black kids don't really we fit this stereotype that you have to rap play ball
