In chapter 4, Cassie, Little Man, and Christopher-John all wanted to go to ask Mr.Morrison questions and Mama said " NO." Mama told them all if Mr.Morrison wanted you all he would ask you. Later on in the story all the kids are in school and T.J. hands a folded piece of paper to Stacey. Stacey unfolds it and says " you plan on cheating?" and T.J. says " Well, naw, I ain't planning on it, just if i gotta." Before T.J could get the paperback Stacey rips it into 2 and then tears it all to pieces. T.J had seen Miz Logan coming to that's why he gave the paper to Stacey. Mama caught Stacey with the cheat paper and had whipped him in front of 30 other kids. T.J. had ran to the Wallace story to hide where the Mama told the kids they couldn't go there, Stacey running to the Wallace store, he said " I have something to take care of." Little Man said " I wanna see what he gonna do." Then Christopher-John said " I don't." So Christopher-John, Little Man, Claude, and Stacey all start running towards Stacey to the Wallace store. Stacey and all the other students were standing in the doorway, when Little Man, Christopher-John, Claude, and Cassie ran up. They squeezed through so they could see inside. A man they all knew was Kaleb Wallace stood behind the counter. Christopher-John tugged on Cassie and said " I don't like this let's go home." and Cassie said " not without Stacey." Stacey had caught T.J. while he was running and punched him squarely in his face. T.J. had rammed into Stacey putting them back onto the ground. Everybody crowded around the fight as if nobody had noticed the mule wagon halt on the road. It wasn't until Cassie realized that the shouting had stopped behind us and that the girls and boys beside me were falling back that I looked up. Mr.Morrison towered above us. Mr.Morrison did not look at Cassie, Christopher-John or Little Man, he went straight to the and lifted a still-swinging Stacey off T.J. After a long, tense moment, he said to Stacey " you and your sisters and brothers goon and get in the wagon." Mr.Morrison was talking to the kids and Stacey asked " are you going to tell mama and he said no you are." All the kids said " WHAT." and then Stacey said "fine i'll tell mama." The kids got home and and Stacey asked Big Ma what Mr.Granger was doing down here she said " oh nothing." Big Ma opened the gate and walked down the driveway and across the road into the forest. Stacey followed her. Stacey and Big Ma went on home from the Caroline after talking for a bit. Despite their effort to persuade Stacey otherwise, when Mama came home Stacey had confessed that he had been fighting T.J. at the Wallace store and that Mr.Morrison had stopped it. When Mama had asked him a question he could not answer honestly and he just simply looked at his feet and refused to speak. Finally seeing that Mama had got all the information from Stacey she was going to get, she turned to Cassie, Christopher-John, and Little Man and asked them " I suppose you 3 were at the store too huh?" Before any of them could answer Mama said " that's it." Although Mama scolded she did not whip them she sent them to bed early but they did not consider that punishment, and they doubted Mama did either. How the kids managed to escape a whipping, they couldn't fathom it until Saturday, when mama woke them all up before dawn and piled them all into the wagon. Mama taking us Southwest toward Smellings creek, she said " where we're going the man is very sick and he doesn't look like other people." We rode for almost 2 hours. As Mama pulled up on the reins and ordered us down, the front door cracked open but no one appeared and Mama said " Good morning, Mrs.Berry. It's Mary Logan, David's wife." The door swung open and a elderly lady stepped out. She said " these yo babies, aint they? Lord a'mighty ain't they fine." Mama said " sho is." Stacey and Cassie carried cans of milk and butter and Christopher-John and Little Man each had a jar of beef and a jar of crowder peas which Mama and Big Ma had canned themselves. Mrs.Berry said " Daddy, who you s'pose done come to see 'about us?' She took a sheet from a nearby table " gots to cover him." She explained " He can't hardly stand to have nothing touch him." When Mrs.Berry was visible again, she picked up a candle stump and felt around a table for matches. " He can't speak no more, the fire had burned Mr.Berry, but he still understands everybody." A still formed layed and stared at the kids. He had no nose or hair. Mama was telling the kids that the Wallaces had done this to Mr.Berry and his nephews. At the end of chapter 4 Mama was telling the kids that the Wallaces knew they did this and that all they did was laugh about it and this is what I think that most important thing of Chapter 4 was.

The beginning of chapter four stated with Cassie churning butter while BigMa and Mama questioned her about how she felt. Then, she fell and wanted to cry but, forced herself not to. Mama sent her out of the kitchen to sit with the boys and T.J. by the fire. Later in the week Stacey is whipped by Mama in front of his classmates.Mama caught Stacey with T.J.'s cheat notes during the test. But, T.J. nor Stacey said anything or did anything about it. After school T.J. without waiting for Stacey ran to the Wallace store. Stacey ordered Cassie, Christopher-John, and Little Man to go home without him but, they followed him to the Wallace store. Knowing that they would all get whipped if they went. When Stacey arrived and found T.J. with no warning he punched his best friend square in the jaw. And T.J. knowing he was wrong for what he did he swung back and Stacey.The two began to fight. A few minutes passed as the crowd cheering and chanting just watch. When Mr. Morrison finally pulled up in the wagon and ordered the children in including Stacey. When they arrived home Stacey told Mr. Morrison that he would tell Mama himself. The told her how he went to the Wallace store. But, he did not tell her about his fight with T.J. Although Mama grilled him about where he had received the notes Stacey refused to tell her he had got the notes from T.J. and even though T.J. didn't seem to care Stacey felt it was only right. Instead of whipping the children Mama decided to wake them up just before dawn on Saturday morning and pile them into the wagon. When the finally arrived at their destination they found themselves at the Berry's home.Mrs.Berry answered the door. She was a fril and toothless old woman. But, the children didn't know what was awaiting them. The woman hugged the all and then hurried them inside. She took the food and lit a candle. They were shocked when they seen the figure lying motionless in the dim light. It had no nose or hair the skin was scarred and burned the lips were black like charcoal. Then they all realize it was Mr.Berry. An hour had passed and Stacey, Cassie, Christopher-John, and Little Man stilled found it hard not to stare at the figure. While Mama acted as if nothing were wrong as if some how it was normal. The children were very relived when it came time to leave. In the wagon on the way home after stopping at many o Mama's student's homes. Mama had announced that the Wallace' poured kerosene over Mr.Berry and his nephews and lit them on fire. Now the children understand why they are not able to go to the Wallace store. Mama had a plan that nobody should shop at the Wallace store and she spread the word fast. Mama spoke badly of the Wallaces ' and many listen to her when she asked them not to shop the

According to the text, one day at school Stacey had a history test and in the middle of the test T.J. Stacey's friend slipped out cheat notes, but when Miz Logan started walking around the classroom  T.J. quickly gave the notes to Stacey and when he looked at them  Miz Logan was walking by his desk but it was to late to put them away.

Finally, after school that day someone asked,"Where is T.J.?" Moe Tuner said,"T.J. went down to the Wallace Store." Everyone started heading towards the Wallace Store, except for Cassie, Christopher-John, and Little Man because Stacey told them to go home. Cassie was coming up with reasons for Stacey not go go but it didn't work he went anyway. When Cassie knew that wasn't going to work he went anyway.

On their way home Miz Logan stopped by some of her kids houses from school and talked to their parents about the Wallace store and how they should stop going there. Many of them said that they couldn't because that was where they got a lot of there groceries and they had no where else to go.

Cassie and her brothers sulk for a week after the bus incident. They feel very guilty, but are determined not to confess. Finally, they learn from the always-gossiping T. J. that the white men were riding for a different reason that night. They are relieved.

On the way to school, T. J. shows Stacey a cheat sheet he has made. They are both in Mama's class. Stacey rips it up, but T. J. makes another one at lunch. During the test, he takes it out, and as Mama approaches, he passes it to Stacey. Stacey takes the blame, because his honor won't let him tell on T. J. However, after school he chases T. J. to the Wallace store and starts to beat him up until L. T. passes by and breaks up the fight. He says he won't tell on Stacey and the other children for going to the Wallace store, because he expects them to decide for themselves whether or not to tell Mama.

As they approach the house, Harlan Granger's silver car passes by. Big Ma says he has been bothering her about the land again. She wanders off to the wood and Cassie follows her. Big Ma tells about how her deceased husband, Paul Edward, bought the land with hard-earned money when the Grangers were poor, after Reconstruction. She tells how smart Paul Edward was and how proud he was of the land.

That evening, Stacey tells his mother about going to the Wallace store. His code of honor prevents him from explaining that it was really T. J. who cheated on the test. She doesn't punish them immediately; instead, she takes them on a special errand that Saturday. They go to visit one of the Berrys who survived the burning but is still badly burned. He had no nose or hair and his skin is badly burned. Afterwards, she explains that it was the Wallace brothers who burned the Berrys. Then they go from home to home, urging other families not to shop at the Wallace store, not mentioning the burning. Most agree. Mr. Turner explains that he has credit at the Wallace store. Mama asks if he would patron another store if someone else gave him credit, and he says he would deeply consider it.
