This is 100% accurate, Many time we say “LMAOO” or “LOLL: like we are just laughing uncontrollably and in reality we just slightly smile.

I really like your explanation of how your GIF is a counter to the example cinemagraph GIF. Your GIF draws attention to the woman in the center since she is the only moving feature, and the social-distancing […]

Hi Eliza, this was a really interesting post! I agree that Melba views Danny as a protector much in the same way she does God. I think one of the reasons Melba has such faith in Danny is because he’s one of the […]

I didn’t really think of this while reading, but it makes total sense and it is something the older generation in the black community still stand by in today’s time. When it comes to progressivism of the black […]
Eliza Cullen commented on the post, Segregation In Schools, on the site Religion in Black Film and Literature (Fall 2020) 5 years, 3 months ago

That is a really good point about segregation nowadays. One part of “Warriors Don’t Cry” that surprised me was that the abuse to the Back students got worse and worse as the school year went on. I expected that […]

Hi Hannah,
What a terrific post! I really like how you talk about how the newspaper headlines parallel Melba’s personal experiences, and how they offer an outsider’s view into the boiling tensions in Little […]

After reading, “Warriors Don’t Cry”, by Melba Beal, one major theme that was most interesting was the importance of desegregation in schools, and how important segregation is to others. Due to the Brown V. Bo […]

Hi Eliza! I really enjoyed reading your post, I’m so glad you expanded more on Melba’s relationship with Danny! I also thought it was interesting how she prayed for Danny, especially after the scene in which he […]

The topic of focusing on faith being in conflict with Black Peoples Need for social progress stands out to me throughout this piece. Pattillo shows the consistent passiveness of the older generations by having […]

After reading Melba Beal’s memoir “Warriors Don’t Cry”, one major theme stood out to me, and that was the impact racial discrimination had on young children during the 1960’s and 70’s. Whether it was war hero’s […]

While reading Warriors Don’t Cry, one of the prompts I was interested in was the effects of other documents being included in Beals’s memoir, specifically the newspaper headlines. While I don’t know if I agree […]

The prompt I’d like to discuss further is “prayers as letters to God,” but further thinking after Tuesday’s class period led me to modify this a bit to become “prayers as phone calls to God.” Let me know what you […]

In Warriors Don’t Cry one of the characters that I found very interesting was Danny. Danny was the soldier that was placed in charge of making sure that Melba or the other Little Rock 9 students were not killed at […]

There are multiple schools of thought on the race relations between whites and African Americans. One of these is the White Backlash theory. This theory proposes that after the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and […]

In Melba Beal’s memoir Warriors Don’t Cry, Mebla describes Link as a hero, however this title is contested by some. It can be argued that Link should have stood up for Melba, should have confronted his friends a […]
