county attorney (as one turning from serious things to little pleasantries). well, ladies, have you decided whether she was going to quilt it or knot it?

mrs. peters. we think she was going to--knot it.

county attorney. well, that’s interesting, i’m sure. (seeing the birdcage.) has the bird flown?

mrs. hale (putting more quilt pieces over the box.) we think the--cat got it.

which idea is suggested by this excerpt?

b. the women still have no idea about what really happened between mr. and mrs. wright.
c. the women are going to hide what they have discovered to protect mrs. wright.
d. the women believe that the men should be taught a lesson in sensitivity, so they keep information from the men.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
