Discussion Questions on Chapter 6 of Warriors Don't Cry


1. Why do you think the fear that Melba sees in her mother’s eyes during the first day of integration is significant?  In other words, what effect did seeing this have on Melba?

2. What do you think would have happened if Melba and the others had decided not to go back after that first horrible day? How would things be different? Do you agree with her and her grandmother that it would have caused the white people to think they had “won”?
