To compare and contrast the reactions of the several characters in <em>"Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" by Mildred D. Taylor,</em> we have chosen Cassie Logan and Mama (Mary Logan).
These two characters stand for principles in the book, especially the principles that condemn racism in America. They are both females. Mary is the mother of Cassie. One can expect to see how much they are alike. But they are different in their reactions to intimidation and harassment are not similar.
Mary is quite educated and a schoolteacher. She is experienced and understanding. But Mama does not condone slavery and the evil effects of racism on blacks. Based on this, she teaches topics not covered in the syllabus. Finally, Mr Granger fires her to teach her a lesson. She decides to continue her social leadership role in the community.
Cassie is still undergoing her education. She is naive but intelligent. She shows her braveness by fully expressing her anger and shouting down white supremacists on every occasion.
Their different reactions to intimidation or harassment are captured by how Mary Logan subtly uses her teaching and leadership skills to undo the evils of enshrined slave mentality in her students and comrades. On the other hand, Cassie prefers confrontation with those who intimidate her and those close to her.
Thus, mother and daughter are two characters who react differently to the problems faced by blacks in the community.
By the end of the passage, we know that Mowgli is about to be confronted by the wolves in the pack and possibly by Shere Khan. Mowgli plans to bring fire with him, which may lead to a major conflict in the story, as the animals fear fire.
remote means having very little connection with or relationship to. so the thing is remote meaning its never had any actual connection to anything making it fearful.
