        <description><![CDATA[In addition to the two incidents of cheating in school, several other scenes give us a good idea about the character of T. J. Avery in Mildred Taylor's novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. T. J. is an attention seeker of huge proportions, and his cocky, know-it-all attitude is bound to get him in big trouble eventually. T. J. is given Stacey's treasured coat (a present from his Uncle Hammer) after he repeatedly insults his friend about its...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Cassie's father is trying to make a point about giving up in the Mildred Taylor novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. When Mr. Avery announces that most of the black families who have agreed to refuse to patronize the Wallace's store are caving in, Cassie asks her father if "we giving up too?" David draws upon an analogy of the fig tree in their yard, surrounded by the much larger oak and walnut trees. Because the fig tree's

        <description><![CDATA[The characters of Mildred Taylor's novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, are motivated by different factors.
CASSIE LOGAN.  Hot-tempered Cassie is often motivated by an urge to avenge wrongs done to her.
"LITTLE MAN" LOGAN.  Books and cleanliness motivates the youngest member of the Logan family.
STACY LOGAN.  A rush into manhood is a motivating factor to the eldest of the Logan children.
DAVID LOGAN.  Providing for his family and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In addition to the answer by my compatriot, rugator, we are given a few other clues about the wealthy landowner of Mildred Taylor's novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. The most powerful man in this rural area of Jefferson Davis County, Granger, who drives a flashy, silver Packard, "stared sourly" at the identical model that Hammer Logan also drives (presumably out of admiration but also to mock Granger), and "stepped briskly" in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The importance of keeping the ownership of the four hundred acres of Logan family land is central to the rising action (events of the story leading up to the climax) of Mildred Taylor's novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Originally owned by the white Granger family before the Civil War, the acreage, now held by the black Logan family, is still a matter of contention to the wealthy Harlan Granger, present day proprietor of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sam Tatum was an African-American character in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry who was tarred and feathered for questioning a bill presented to him at the Wallace store. He believed (correctly) that he was being charged for items he never was obligated to pay. The store owners thought they could "pull one over on him"? based upon the color of his skin. When Sam called them out, he was punished for being too "outspoken," and perhaps to send a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, the author doesn't give the reader any physical description of Harlan Granger other than to indicate that he's a white man. One could argue that Mildred Taylor (author) does so intentionally in order for us to form our own mental image of this antagonist. Granger is a middle-aged man intent on keeping the Logan family (and other African-Americans in the story) in line. He does so out of racial predjudice, but...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The biggest conflict in Chapters 7, 8, and 9 are focused on the boycott by some of the black residents of the area against the Wallaces' store.  Everyone knows that the Wallaces' were the perpetrators in the vicious attack on the Berrys, but nothing is being done to bring them to justice because they are white and the Berrys are black.  In addition to this, the Wallaces are luring black youths in the community to drink and dance at a room...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[T.J. wants Stacey to find out what will be on the tests Mrs. Logan gives ahead of time, and tell him so that he will have an advantage when the tests are actually given.  Essentially, T.J. wants Stacey to help him cheat.
Stacey's Mom is a teacher at the school the children attend.  T.J., who was a grade ahead of Stacey, had Mrs. Logan for a teacher last year, and had failed her class.  Because of this, he has to repeat her class this year,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If by "rising" you mean rising action, then rising action would be all the events that take place in the story which build the tension on the way to the climax of the story. For example:

The children who ride the school bus with the Logan children pick on them.


The Logan children devise a plan in which they dig a ditch in the muddy road, and when the bus gets stuck it breaks it axle.


When she goes to Strawberry, Cassie Logan is teated...]]></description>
