He says, “a storm came by and my pets and I were safe in my home” (52).

The main problem Robinson was facing was to live, that is, to eat, drink, and get warm under the most severe conditions.

Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry
.... and I think a friend would think the same.
Another reason why I believe a friend would appreciate this book is because the character development is very appropriate. In this story, there are characters with all different personalities and ages. It shows how every character pulls through all their hard times. There are characters who are very loyal, and there are characters who are very dishonest. There are characters who are brave, and there are characters who are fearful. The difference in every c .....

and the way of life .....
