Explain how Cassie grows as a character in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

From the very beginning, we find out that Cassie speaks her mind—even if it gets her whipped. When she notices the racial slur in the "new" school textbooks, she speaks up. When she learns that T.J. got his little brother, Claude, into trouble for going down to the Wallace store, she wishes she could "knock his block off". We suspect she is like this due to Mama's influence: like mama, like daughter. Mama's known to be a "radical" compared to some of the other teachers and people in the town, and she's not afraid to stand up for what's right.Plus, Cassie's persistent, and uses her words to get what she wants. She's usually able to manipulate Stacey into telling her things that she wants to know, like what happened to Papa and Mr. Morrison on the trip back from Vicksburg.

hope this helps :)

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open
