Tears of a Tiger
Tears Of A Tiger, the author, Sharon M Draper, tells the story about a teenager named Andy Jackson who killed his best friend Robert Washington after a basketball game while driving. While Andy and his other best friends were able to escape the car that was taking on fire, Roberts legs were trapped in the front. Seeing his friend burning and crying for help, burned the heart of Andy. After the accident, Andy's other friends were able to move on, but still feeling guilty. However, Andy was not able to move on. All he felt was sorrow, despair, grief, and was heartbroken. The memory of his friend burning and crying for help was engraved in his heart and never stopped replaying. While, most people thought he was getting better, Andy was getting worse and worse. His only light was his girlfriend who was supporting him no matter the sircumstanses. Keisha, his girlfriend, always was there for Andy when in need.
To begin with, Keisha always tried her best to be supportive understand Andy when he was in bad condition. When they were on a date, Andy was at first very happy and optimistic, but as snow fell, he suddenly remembered Robert and felt terrible. He wouldn't stop talking about how cold he was and how Robert must be cold in the pile of snow piling over him. Although Keisha could not do much about his pain, she still stayed close to him and did not leave him. She soothed him by telling him that Robert was fine and that he could not feel the coldness of the snow and where he is, he is warm and in peace.
Adding on, when Andy was at the psychologist, he was asked if he depends a lot on Keisha and what would happen if she wasn't there. He answered, " She's there for me when nobody else is [...] Me and Keisha are tight. She's my lady [...] She keeps me in balance. " All these things he told to his psychologists shows how much Andy loves Keisha and how much he needs her.
Lastly, although Keisha was getting annoyed with Andy's depression, she still was willing to be there and listen to him. In her diary she wrote, "Andy can't seem to get over it and i'm the only one who knows it. His got his parents, his teachers, even the stupid counselor at the Outpatient Psych Center fooled." This shows that she understood Any the best and knew him better than his own family.
