Roll of Thunder, Chapters 5-6: Struggles and Resilience in a Troubled World

In Chapters 5-6 of "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," we delve into significant moments that highlight themes of identity, resilience, and racial tension. Cassie confronts her feelings of anger and humiliation when faced with racism, showcasing her fierce spirit as she declares, “I ain’t nobody’s little nigger!” The cold distance of father figures and the warmth of Big Ma contrast sharply, emphasizing the complexities of family dynamics. As tensions rise, understandings deepen, especially in interactions with figures like Mr. Simms, leaving the children to grapple with their place in a divided society.
