Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry tells the story of the Logan family in 1930s Mississippi. Told through the eyes of nine year old Cassie, the story includes humor along with the terror that comes when white folks are unhappy about the fact that Cassie's black family owns land. Cassie is just beginning to learn that the color of her skin means others look down on her. Through her grandmother, she learns how that came to be and through her own experiences she learns about the challenges she will face. This book touches on many of the same themes that we are seeing today. What part of history should we learn? What is systemic racism? What is the truth in our history? How has our history shaped where we are today? (  ) Mrs.Try | Sep 13, 2021 |  This was about as close to a perfect book as I've read. Mood, perfect. Pacing, perfect. Plot development, perfect. Character development, perfect. Cassie (narrator) is a nine year old black girl living in Mississippi in the early 20th century. Her family owns land and is passionate about keeping it, while a white neighbor is passionate about trying to get it taken from them. In a book primarily about the injustices of racism, there is one main character who is black, and is a ne'er-do-well, having gone down the wrong path, and two characters, (one child, one adult) who are white, and are decent people in spite of all the white peer pressure for them not to be. Saying too much about the plot would spoil some things. Just read it. Read this book! (  ) fingerpost | Aug 31, 2021 | Realistic look at 1930s Mississippi that everyone should read at some point in their life. ( ) bookwyrmm | Aug 15, 2021 | My 11 year old only gave it four stars, he says because the subject matter was disturbing and hard to read. True enough! But an amazing book and I'm sticking with my five star rating. ( ) emrsalgado | Jul 23, 2021 | This book has a lot of serious concepts and elements, and is great to learn from for both young adolescents and adults. It's a story about a Mississippi family that owned a lot of land, and the story shows what the United States was once like with much blatant discrimination and racism. There is a lot of drama in the story, but that keeps it interesting. It has been quite a while since I read this book, I believe it was in Middle School, but it impacted me enough to remember bits and pieces of it. I recall a character named TJ who was accused of stealing a gun and then “Papa” set a distraction to get people to stop hitting TJ. I encourage you to read the book for yourself; it is definitely worth it. ( ) RoaneRayL | Apr 29, 2021 |
Roll of thunder hear my cry This book is about a family that lived in Mississippi. They owned a lot of land. There were the Wallace’s who were mean white people. There family was big. Papa sent Mr. Morrison to watch all of his family. There was a guy named T.J who took the wrong side of the road. And was blamed for stealing a gun. Papa went down to the land and set a fire so that T.J would not get hurt anymore. In the end, everything turned out great and it did not have to end in violence. We read this book in my 7th grade LA class. I enjoyed reading it. My favorite part was when Papa set a distraction to make them stop hitting T.J... I loved this book. Everybody should read this. The only part I did not like was when they cursed at the African Americans. I encourage all readers to read this book.
