How racial injustice is shown in "Thunderclap, hear my cry" Racial injustice is discrimination against a individual because of the color of his skin and is expressed in various ways in "Roll of thunder, hear my cry" because the author Mildred D Taylor wants to show how hard life was in 1930s Mississippi for skinned people black. The author achieves this by using a number of linguistic techniques, for example, metaphors, informal language and sensory images that create an atmosphere that we can empathize with. Cassie, the protagonist, takes care of her family in every way possible. At first he doesn't know much about the "evil men of the night" but as the injustice worsens, he realizes that they are not very friendly. During the first few chapters, Cassie and her brothers are petrified to learn that anyone could treat black people the way the Berrys had been treated. The idea of ​​someone hurting someone else because of the color of their skin is very scary to these children and is not something that white children would worry about. So from an early age, black children had to realize that they could not become friends with white people. In the story there are two segregated schools. Jefferson High for white children and Great Faith for black children. The children attend school barefoot every day because their school doesn't have a bus but Jefferson High has two. This made Cassie's little brother think. “Why does our school have no buses but Jefferson High has two?” showing that the little man doesn't really know what's going on. The city gave a large amount of money to white schools and much less to black schools, most likely because they didn't like blacks. The books that Cassie and... half of the paper... are in chapters throughout the book. Life for the black community was extremely tough and can be portrayed very well in this book. It had affected people tremendously, as demonstrated by the detailed context. The family was also shown effectively and we can empathize with it. Black people had been treated in terrible conditions and it would still be happening today if it weren't for people like Cassie who stood their ground. In today's society we live in a much more multicultural world where respect is shown to everyone, regardless of color. At the end of the book, TJ had to end up in a prison gang for something that wasn't his fault. Thankfully, chain gangs no longer exist and so neither does slavery. Our world has recognized that everyone is human and everyone has rights. Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry is a great book to show what life was like for people of color.
