roll of thunder hear my cry

I would like to represent my Essay about very famous writer Mildred D. Taylor who was born in Jackson, Mississippi. She didn’t lived there for long. She moved to Toledo in Ohio, where she spent most of her childhood. Now She and her daughter lives in Colorado. This wonderful author showed her views on the slavery and and the period of the racism. She was trying to express her memories from the stories of her childhood that has been passed on.
One of her most famous book (which i think in my opinion shown people how in 1930’s black people where treated) is Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry.

1. In this paragraph I would like to show you the advantages and disadvantages that Cassie and her brothers have to go though when black folks had to live through. In this book it shows the way that a girl called Cassie lives through a life of racism in the 1930’s. On her way to school a white school bus driver likes to entertain the passengers so he splashes Cassie and her brothers with mud. This shows discrimination because two races black,white and race go to separate schools(mixed race children went to the black school)One day with their friend’s, they dug a hole in the road and ran back to school they hid the shovels in a shed, after school the bus driver saw the three children, he spam his engine at full speed and into the hole in road which got the bus stuck.

2. In this paragraph I will show you the places that have racism in that takes place in the Barnett’s store were a lady and a child push in to the line and get served first, like Cassie and her brother didn’t even exist when Cassie lost her temper and shouts at Mr Barnett for taking an hour to serve them then Mr Barnett shouts “whose little nigger are you”. This shows discrimination because of two things,one Mr Barnett says “whose” which he meant by Cassie too be a possession of some one. Two he said something offensive to Cassie by saying little nigger.

3.Jobs that Cassie and her family are sharecropping for a white landowner by renting a house food. their mother works as a teacher at a black school and their father far away builds a rail way. Some times they have to steal some crops

4. The schools have been segregated and if your thinking of mix race then they went to the black school. Black folks are so used of being called nigger that they even call them selves that which means that they get called that allot. Some times the white give books that are soggy, ripped, old or not cared about. One time when they got new books, (which they weren’t obviously)Cassie’s little brother “little man” saw what was at the back of the book he throw it on to the floor.

5.One day T.J showed them a cool looking gun in a white man store. T.J thought that the gun was for sale but no it was for protection against black kind. you can see that this man is raciest.

In my essay I wanted to show that this was not a civil rights towards African American’s.I think this period was very cruel and I think no one should be treated that way no matter of the colors of there skin because people have free will to do what ever the want to do in this country.
We are all same children of God and we should treat our self the same way like we want to be treated the same way you want to be.
