Tears of a Tiger
By Sharon M. Draper



Basketball was one of things that Andy did enjoy. Ever since Rob died he has had pressure on his shoulders. He had to fill Rob's shoes on the basketball team as the new center.He worked extra hard, just to make Rob proud. He proved that he could still put 110% into the game even though all the pain and hurt that he has gone through.
After Rob's deatlh, Andy didn't see the significance of living. He felt like Rob's death was his fault. He made the decision to drink and drive ande he dealth with the concequences. The concequences ended up being very severe and it hurt a lot of people including him. Andy's poor decision should be an eye opener for teenages that drink and drive.
Andy ended up committing suicide. It was a selfish act because Andy did have people that actually care about him he was just to blind to see it. Suicide is never the answer,it only brings pain to the people that you love and care about.
