The book I have read is called Tears of Tiger. It was
written by an author named Sharon M. Draper. Draper has written 27 books in all
during the years of 1994-2013. I have read 3 other books written by her and
they are Battle of Jericho, November’s Blues, and Forged by Fire. These books
compare to the book I have read because they are the afterlife of the tragic
that started in Tears of Tiger. I think the message she was trying to get
across in Tears Of Tiger was that Drinking and driving is a serious danger and
the grief behind it can be life threaten as well. Overall the other three books
are informing readers that everyone goes through problems, but its life and you
just have to learn to adapt.
In Tears of Tiger
Four junior boys that attended Hazelwood high school got into an accident while
drinking and driving on an expressway. The Death of one boy in the car struck
the whole student body. The main Character Andy Jackson Struggled through life
blaming himself. Or what little life he did have. He couldn’t take the guilt
anymore and committed suicide. Students
were absolutely traumatized because they couldn’t believe kids their age could
die. After the death of two of their
peers eyes were truly opened to the real world, and life around them.
I recommend this book to readers who have a
drinking problem, knows someone who has a drinking problem, or thinks drinking
is cool. There are many things that can happen that not everybody thinks about.
This book could save lives and/or prevent deaths. If none of these things apply
to you then this is also an amazing way to be able to look into others’ lives,
and see you’re not the only one going through a tough time. It provides great
tip on how to deal with life situations. You should read it immediately!!!
