Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

chapter 7:roll of thunder hear my cry

28. What does Mr. Granger mean when he says, “Even got yourself that loan Paul Edward made from the First National Bank up in Strawberry for that eastern two hundred acres. Course now with times like they are, that mortgage could come due anytime… and if it comes due and y’all ain’t got the money to pay it, y’all could lose this place” (127)?

Granger is implying that he has the power to make the bank call in the mortgage for the Logan land before it was due. He is really threatening the Logans with the loss of their land.
