Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry shows the success made by the Logan family. Mildred D. Taylor structured the text by making the role of each character clear. Papa, Mama and Big Ma are influential in teaching their children the value of dignity. Cassie grew up over the course of the novel, learning to reconcile the streak of pride inherited from her Uncle Hammer with the rational but dignified approach to racism that her parent adopted. And that racism was something she must at every possible chance and she must also endure it any time necessary.
Taylor also structure the novel such that cassie also learnt from her elders different tactics.
