condition was continuously growing, and “he was only his usual depressed self, this morose person who was becoming our usual household companion, this man on a constant hunt for the ways he was sure he was being harmed” (Caletti 178) more and more often. Cassie relates well with Laertes in Hamlet, in the way that they had observed and noticed their families conditions overtaking them. When Laertes storms the Danish Castle after his father’s death furiously, he sees his sick sister and cries in…

Discriminating a person does not define who they are, it defines who you are.¨ For Cassie Logan and her family, they get discriminated all the time by white people because they are black, but it only defines the people who discriminate them. No one should be discriminated because of race, color, or because they are different. In ¨roll of thunder hear my cry¨, Mildred Taylor uses many techniques and goals. She also uses symbolism like the Jefferson Davis school bus to represent discrimination…

Katniss volunteers for her sister to save her life, while Cassie spends the entirety of the story searching for her lost brother. Ben Parish on the other hand, becomes depressed and almost…

rights. How can these rights be looked at wrongly? The color of your skin does not define who you are, but what you say and do, defines the type of person you are. I was instructed to get the main character from “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” Cassie, and put her in the position of the black students that were mentioned in…

Jennifer Lynn has a very specific style. One of the main distinctions is how the book progresses with the main character's (Cassie) thoughts. Even though they are inside her head, the reader doesn’t feel like the story is centered around Cassie; it feels natural. In the given pages, the main character also analyzes new characters that she meets (Lia). At first the author describes the character’s actions with the use of similes and imagery such as when she wrote that “She moved like a cat - and…

The songs that I chose to represent her were “Bloody Shirt” and “I Will Follow you into The Dark”. I chose the first one because…
