After reading Melba Beals Warriors Don’t Cry, write an argument-driven approximately 3-page paper on the following question: Why was Melba a warrior?
Citing specific arguments and examples from Beals’s memoir, address the above question. Some questions you might want to consider addressing are below. By all means, do not feel like you need to address them all. The most important thing to keep in mind is that this is not simply a summation or review of the book itself. Rather, you need to have a central argument or thesis that is the framework of your paper. We will discuss this more in class.
*What forces Melba to be a warrior?
*What determined the type of warrior that Melba became?
*What kind of battles does she have to fight? With whom?
*How does this conflict help her to grow?
Additionally, you need to cite at least three newspapers via the “Chronicling America” website. This can be found at:https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/Again; more on this in class as well.
