Roll Of Thunder: Hear My Cry Book Report
1. The setting for the short novel, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, is in the state of Mississippi, in the early 1930’s, which means that it is right during the middle of the Great Depression. I believe the setting is very important to the book because in Mississippi during those times there was a lot of racism and racial segregation, the African Americans people could not do the same things that Caucasian, white people could do.

Even though I don’t think that that will happen because they are white kids, I still believe that should happen because that is fair and just, even though the world is not always fair. What's more another thing that T.J. was that he told the Logan family that they were going to be attacked by the lynching squad, so at least he warned
