Taylor used description on page 43 to describe how the bus comes for them every day. Here s a quote. ‘But it was, we also had to worry about the Jefferson Davis school bus zooming from behind and splashing us with murky waters of the road.’ This shows description because Mildred D. Taylor explains how the bus zooms down the road everyday just to splash the logans. She also explains how the explains how the splash of water the buss hits them with is this dark murky waters off of the dirt road hitting them and getting there clean clothes all dirty.

The only reason why they brought T.J and get him the pearl handled pistol was to keep him quiet. This raises the stakes because now T.J has to worry for white people to find out about this incident, the possibly killing him. This connects to the theme of tolerance because R.W and Melvin have no tolerance with dealing a boy like T.J, who is willing to tell on them for robbing the Barnetts. Not only was the author revealing actions there but in another part of the book such as on page 251. Here is a quote from the page 251 ‘Kaleb Wallace and his brother Thurston pounded the front door with their rifle butts. Y’all come on outta there! We want that thieving, murdering nigger of y’alls.’ This reveals Kalleb Wallace's actions because when stacey and T.J got into a fight he didn't care, but when a black and white people get into a fight he truly cares and is going to get T.J for it.
