Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Cassie says that after Stacey put the wooden flute away, she never saw it again. Why do you think Stacey would put it away and not get it back out?

Stacey cannot understand why Jerermy brought him a gift until Papa suggests he gave Jeremy the gift of friendship in the past year. But Papa warns him that friendship between a black man and white man can never be on an equal basis and it would cost too much to find out if this friendship with Jeremy could last. I think Stacey wanted it as a private symbol that there are still good people, even in white children. I don't think he wanted this symbol ruined by having it in plain sight.
