Today I will be talking about stacey, a character in Mildred D.taylor's, book Roll of thunder Hear my cry.
Personality:

If he was my friend I would know he would never blame me for anything. For example, the time when he persuaded his siblings, to help him dig a ditch so the bus filled with white kids, who would tease them would get stuck in it.

Conclusion:
Stacey is a nice person. He is at the age of thirteen, which is the age of the transition to becoming a man, but sometimes he lets that go to his head, making him stubborn and annoying. He is very serious and loyal. Making him a good friend and brother. He still has a lot to learn about being an adult in his world, making him very naive and
