  4. Sample Claims • The theme of race is one of the major ideas that Sharon Draper explores in her novel “Tears of a Tiger”. • Andy Jackson, the main character in Sharon Draper’s novel “Tears of a Tiger”, changes dramatically due to his guilt over killing his best friend.

  5. Data 1 Examples • For example, on page 27, Andy tells his coach that he thinks his sentence is too easy. • Tyrone describes Robbie’s death on pages 13-14 describing how they weren’t able to save their friend.

  6. Warrant 1 (Andy) • This is important because it shows how guilty Andy feels about Robbie’s death. He believes that he should be sitting in jail for killing Robbie while driving drunk.

  7. Warrant 1 (theme) • This example shows the cost of making a bad decision. Because Andy decided to drink and drive, Robbie was burned alive while his friends watched helplessly.
