Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

This is a very good book. It's a book about a family The Browns that moves to a new town, and no one in the new town made their living by making their own items and selling them anymore. The Brown's make a living by selling cotton and by making objects that people needed and by selling them. The other people in the town don't like them because they make their items they need. I really enjoy this book because it relates to my family, and because they are strong people who never give up. The weirdest part of the text would be how they used different letters and words to get the feel of how the people down south talks. I also learned from the text that different words mean the same thing just said differently. The book also made me mad by how the Brown's were treated. People were so mean to them, all because they made of living by making items and selling them. I read the book fast but there were parts when u had to slow down to get a feel for the setting of where it was happening at, and how the person may have felt when it started to happening. This was a really good book, and I feel like anyone can relate to this book.
