Tears of a Tiger
By: Sharon M. Draper
What does this book remind you of in your own life? Why?
This book reminds me of the people that underestimate people just because they are different from the other people around them. For example, in the novel, Andy and his friends feel neglected because they are a different skin color. They say the Whites, all have good grades and that whenever the teachers ask them questions in class, he notices that the teachers always ask them the easiest questions. In my own life, the book reminds me of underestimating because some people think that I can't achieve something either because I'm a girl or that I am young. But they don't even know enough about me to say those things.
What character do you like most in this book and/or what character do you like least? Why?
My favorite character is Andy because he I think has the most strength in the book because all the teachers act like hes stupid and sometimes his girlfriends treats him... hot very well. But I really like Andy as a character. I really dislike the teachers, even though they aren't major characters. They always act like Andy and his friends can't do anything right.
What I would do.
If I were in Andy's situation, I would try and really prove the people that think he and his friends are stupid, wrong. In one part of the book, the teacher asks Andy if he had done his poem for homework. Andy thought that his teacher was expecting a dumb answer so he said he hadn't done it. When he had actually finished the assignment and was in his backpack. If I were Andy, I would turn it in and really try to answer all the questions that are asked him in class by the teacher.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about how Andy and most of his friends aren't really given the chance to prove their skills in class or anything really besides sports. Which tottaly is'nt right. Everyone should have an equal chance. "Don't judge a book by it's cover."
ReplyDeleteI don't really think that Keisha, Andy's girl friend treats him wrong. Actully I think she is really supportive of him. He even mentions how he can rely on her. He says shes the only one that understands him. Otherwise I agree with everything else. Good job
