Quote:
A quote that represents strongly Patillo's style is,"Our giggles got louder and more prolonged. We were happy to see each other, and in no time we were all talking at once "(Beals 73).
Reaction:
Patillo Beals memoir Warrior's Don't Cry   is saturated with agony and cruelty. However, this here quote gives the reader another mood and level of positivity. In particular, Melba Patillo is no longer crying rivers or hiding from crowds of bigots like she did, instead she is portrayed as a zealous young girl determined to make history. Melba is full of joy and more then excited to be around her friends. In fact, she is back to being a typical teenager trying to live in normality and peace. Beals as a dynamic character breaks out of her shell and blooms into a women. No longer is Melba wishing she didn't have integrated, now it is all about her future and herself. Also, Patillo uses verisimilitude throughout her memoir. In fact, she agrees that Whites had better books and materials to surpass her skills and knowledge of things. Furthermore, Patillo uses symbolism various times in the first half of the book. For example, she has her Grandmother India symbolize her strength and boldness. Whenever she feels usurped by violence and pandemonium, she seeks solace from India.
