Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

Chapters 7-9 please answer!

1. How does Uncle Hammer handle this situation (involving Stacey’s coat), and why do you think he does this—is it because he’s a mean person? What experiences might you guess Hammer has had to make him so wary of being taken advantage of by others?

2. Why does Mr. Jameson decide to help the African American people buy their food and
supplies in Vicksburg? How could that have been a dangerous decision for him?

you were Cassie? What would you do differently? Explain.

4. What do you think is the real reason Kaleb Wallace and Harlan Granger have Mrs. Logan

2) Mr. Jamison agrees to put up the credit for a group of black families to shop in Vicksburg and says that not all white Southerners feel the same way as the Grangers. Nonetheless, he reminds the Logans that the Wallace store is on Granger land and that Harland Granger lives in the past. By putting up the credit that allows the black families to boycott the Wallace Store, Mr. Jamison is putting himself and his own family in danger.

Pease ask your questions separately.
