Explanation:

"Warriors Dopn't Cry" by Melba Patillo Beals is an autobiographical account of the Civil Rights Movement era that highlights the racist discrimination that the African Americans suffered at the hands of the whites. The academic atmosphere of this time was also afflicted with the segregation system which almost all schools follow.

Melba, along with eight other blacks were the first to be allowed education in an integrated school without the system of segregation in place. While she wholeheartedly accepts the integration of schools, she also missed the closeness and intimacy she had with her fellow schoolmates in her old school. She admits that "While I regretted the friendships I was losing, I cherished the growing ties to the eight". This shows the sentimental mood of Melba in losing her friends but still happy in the new approach of schooling where segregation no longer exists.
