Question Answer
Roll. Of. Thunder. Hear. My. Cry (R. O.T. H. M. C.) At the start of the chapter, we are introduced to the setting, in Mississippi and the Four children.
Stacey, Cassie, Christopher-John and Little man. They are all related. The four children have to walk to school every day because they are black.
Discrimination was very high in Mississippi.The Children had to walk in the rain and get soaked. We are also introduced to the characters personalities.
Little man is 6 years old, and he hates getting dirty. He always wants to be clean. Christopher-John is 7 years old and he is always happy and cannot stay upset for a long time.
Stacey is 12 years old and he is always moody and grumpy. He is the oldest and is very scary but smart. Cassie is 9 years old and she is the second oldest. She is to forward in things and is always taking big decisions that puts people in trouble.
The parents and the school life is also introduced in Chapter 1. We see in chapter 1 about Cassie's teacher, Mrs.Crocker. The books given to the children were dirty and messy as we can see from Little John's behaviour towards the book.
The school provides them with very low standards of items and the children and other black children are not respected in the school. Cassie's mother was a teacher in the school and she could understand the complaint of her son and daughter. She tries to help by making the books new & suitable.
We also hear some news about a family called 'The Berry's'' who were burnt down to death by the ''whites''. Jeremy is a white boy introduced to us as the ''Logans'' friends, but is always getting whipped because of associating with them.
