Tears Of A Tiger by Sharon Draper/posted by Jasmine Brown

This Book Is Fiction.The reason why I chose this book is because Sharon Draper is a good writer and I can relate to what is going on in this book.

The story is told from a 17-year-old kids point of view. His name is Andy and he is a senior in high school. He is on the basketball team and after a big win against a rival team they go out drinking and driving and get into a crash and his best friend Rob gets killed. The story tells about how everyone takes this tragedy and in the end Andy commits suicide.

The significance of the book tears of a tiger is Andy is supposed to be the tiger and tigers don't cry or show any emotions, but as Andy crashes the car and watches his Best friend die he realizes that some tigers really have feelings and he expressed them by killing himself to hide the pain that he was feeling from his Best friend's death.


The Three questions that i would ask Sharon Draper are:
1. What inspired her to write Tears Of A Tiger?

2. Did she have to go through any of these horrifying experiences and how did she feel?

3. If she did have to go through these horrifying experiences what did she do to over come them?And how did it help her write this book?
