Reading is a crucial part of my academic life, it is a subject that is used multiple times throughout my life. Among the many genres that I have explored, suspense, adventures, and mysteries are my favored because they catch my attention and make me wonder what happens next. Two books that fit these qualities are Alan Gratz’s young adult novel “Code of Honor” and Mildred Taylor’s historical novel “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry”. In the novel Code of Honor, Kamran Smith has it all; a beautiful girlfriend, he is his school’s football star and his best friend got them free tickets to the Super Bowl but his life takes a sharp turn for the worse. Kamran’s older brother, Darius, who fought in the US Army in Afghanistan, is accused a terrorist. He is seen on video bombing the US Embassy in Turkey. Important themes the novel conveys are brotherhood and loyalty. Kamran displays these themes by believing that Darius is innocent. This book has personally affected my life by strengthening my brotherhood and loyalty. I now have a stronger relationship with my brother and we are more loyal to one another. In the novel, Roll of Thunder, one African American family, the Logans, fight to stay strong in the face of brutal racist attacks, illness, poverty, and betrayal in the deep South of the 1930s. The main character and narrator, Cassie Logan, speculates many events during her childhood which takes place in the time of the Jim Crow era. This book has affected me on a personal level because I

In Roll of Thunder,Hear my cry there are various events. The book and the movie though do not share the same similarities. As an example the movie might have the important events instead of the least important ones. The movie also didn't have the same placing of events like the book did. The book had a nice flow that can just help you understand the book more. The movie jumped around and did not follow the order of the book.

As a result of this, Logan is sent to boot camp and separated from Jack, and each of them running away to find the other causes their injuries and Jack’s death. In the ending of the book, Logan reconciles with his father, makes peace with his step-father, and they all unite to mourn Jack. In each of these books, a conflict with family causes the main character to struggle, and the conflict is resolved when the main character reunites with a parent.

Cassie Logan followed her convictions when she knew what her and her classmates were being called wasn’t right. In the beginning of the book, Cassie Logan and her brother, Little Man, started school. They were put in the same class this year. They finally got somewhat “new books”. Little Man, being the clean freak he is, noticed how dirty the books were. When he opened it, he screamed with anger. On the inside of the front cover there was a word, a word that was very offensive to all blacks. Cassie saw what Little Man was upset about, and she and Little Man both refused to take the books. Miz Crocker did not like their behavior, so she decided to talk to their mother. Miz Crocker threatened to whip Little Man. When she did this, Cassie stepped in and said “Miz Crocker, don’t, please!” I cried. Miss Crocker’s dark eyes warned me not to say another word. “ I know why he done it.” (Taylor, Chap. 5)This quote shows that Cassie wasn’t afraid to get a whipping as long as Little Man wouldn’t get whipped as well. After Miz Crocker got done talking to Mama, Cassie wanted to go tell Mama about what really happened. When she walked in the classroom, she saw and felt this, “Mama remained at her desk, sitting very still. For a long time she did not move. When she did, she picked up the seventh grade books and began to glue again. I wanted to go and help her, but something warned me that now was not the time to make my

When Cassie broke the molding dish she knew she could pick up the pieces, but for the burnt quarter of cotton she could do nothing the cotton was gone and she could do nothing to bring it back. As for T.J., he was in jail in Strawberry, she could not bring him back either. Cassie learned one lesson when she bumped into Lillian Jean. Lillian Jean Simms, Mr.Simms daughter, and Mr.Simms insisted that Cassie must apologize. When Mama, Cassie’s mother, discovered what happened she told her about the difference between respect given out of fear and true respect.

Even though Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is about a family very different from my own, I identify with the main character, Cassie, because we are similar in some ways and I admire her. Just like Cassie’s mom, my mom was a teacher, and I have close relationships with my siblings. These similarities help me put myself in Cassie’s place. I admire her because she is brave and fights for her rights and what she believes in. She always sticks up for herself. For example, when the white kids’ school bus purposely splashes Cassie and her siblings, they dig a ditch and the bus gets stuck in the mud. Cassie always sticks up for Little Man, her younger brother. She tells her mom about the poor quality books that upset Little Man, and she comforts him when she is upset. Cassie and her brothers are always hanging out together. In my family, my sister takes me shopping and hangs out with me. I also play outside and jump on the trampoline with my younger brother. Even though I am similar to Cassie in some ways, we have differences, too. I am not part of a minority and have never faced prejudices like

Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry is set during the Great Depression, in the rural areas of Mississippi. The majority of the people in this community are sharecroppers, who are greatly dependent on plantation farming. The Logan family is fortunate because they have a piece of land of their own, so unlike other black sharecroppers they do not have to be dependent on the whites. However, due to the sharp decrease in the price of the cotton crop the family have to work hard to keep it in their hands, whilst also providing food in order for them to survive. The situation is further worsened because of the severity of racism and segregation in the society. The Logans are one of the few families

Since the beginning, humans have enslaved or mistreated their fellow humans. Whether it is a matter of race, gender, religion, or otherwise, humans commit horrible crimes against each other simply because they are different from one another. However, throughout history, humans have also protested this abuse. Over time, the mistreatment stops if enough people protest it. This cycle of injustice and protest becomes a recurring theme in Mildred D. Taylor’s historical fiction novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. [Needs summary] In the novel, the nine-year-old African-American narrator Cassie endures injustices such as racial epithets in her textbook, a racist bus driver, and a sadistic twelve-year-old white girl. But there will be protest against all of these, and Cassie will learn valuable lessons from each of them.

Avery, but T.J. later goes on to be “friends” with two older white boys, R.W. and Melvin Simms. R.W. and Melvin Simms also have a younger sister, Lillian Jean, a prideful and persnickety girl.

Near the end of the book Cassie bumps into Jeremy Simms sister and her dad comes and pushes Cassie off the sidewalk.“It was then that I bumped into Lillian Jean Simms… Mr. Simms glared down at me “When my gal Lillian Jean says for you to get yo’self off the sidewalk, you get, your hear.” This shows her losing innocence because she now sees how terrible white people are to push a 9 year old girl off the sidewalk because someone bumped into her. Lillian and her dad are very racist so now she knows not to mess with her and not to talk back.

Would you be willing to get in trouble for your sibling even though you know you’re gonna get hurt? Cassie Logan was brave. So brave that she wasn’t afraid to step out of line for what she believes is right. She knew she would get in trouble and get hurt, but she did it anyway.
