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.

The conflict between Laocoon and the Trojans was that when
the Trojans saw the Greek ships leaving, they thought the war was over. When they saw the wooden horse, they thought
it was a gift and wanted to bring it inside Troy. Laocoon objected thinking it was a trick but
the Trojans disregarded his warning.
Laocoon insisted but Athena had two serpents from the sea attack him and
this enabled the Greeks to sneak in and conquer Troy.
