In Warriors Don’t Cry the hatred of the blacks towards whites is very apparent from the beginning to the end of the novel. Melba and the other Little Rock 9 were repeatedly physically and verbally abused throughout their time at Central High School just because they were black.

The main reason for this hatred was because the lower and middle class whites had people they were better then no matter what was happening at that point in their lives. They felt that if African-Americans were given equal rights they would be better than them and that was something they couldn’t let
“Our understanding of belonging is enhanced by times of isolation.” It is true that the deprivation of belonging further enhances our need of it and ultimately our understanding of the concept. Once a sense of belonging is reached the moral refinement of ones perception of self leads to a point of conclusive identity. Steven Herrick’s free verse novel The Simple Gift highlights the journey of Billy, Old Bill and Caitlin as they go through the process of alienation to achieve a strong sense of inner and social belonging. The film The Freedom Writers directed by Richard LaGravenese examines a similar idea of identity which revolves around a situation where overwhelming social pressure forces different races apart and constructs a barrier preventing tribes to belong to and function as a greater society.

Playing basketball always puts a smile on my face; it is something that will never bore me. When I am playing basketball it is the only thing I focus on; the court is where I go to release any stress and clear my mind. Ever since I can remember I have loved basketball. As a kid and even now I would sit around where there was a garbage can or anything I could use as a hoop, and crumple paper throwing it in the can as practice.
