Consisting of four weather-beaten wooden houses on stilts of brick, 320 students, seven teachers, a principal, a caretaker, and the caretaker’s cow." p. 15

This quote is significant because it describes the Great Faith school and shows the reader what the school is like. This setting includes a very important part when Little Man Logan and Cassie refuse to take the book because the books are worn and passed down from the whites when they don't want it anymore. Cassie and Little man stand up against discrimination.

The gullies and the steep banks made it hard for the Logan children to escape the bus. The bus driver goes out of his way to regular humiliate Cassie and her brothers for the amusement of white students. Another reason the bus driver did this was to show white supremacy.

From it a person could reach the front or the side porch, the kitchen, and the two other bedrooms. Its walls were made of smooth oak, and on them hung gigantic photographs of Grandpa and Big Ma, Papa and Uncle Hammer when they were boys, Papa’s two eldest brothers, who were now dead, and pictures of Mama’s family. The furniture, a mixture of Logan-crafted walnut and oak, included a walnut bed whose ornate headboard rose halfway up the wall toward the high ceiling, a grand chiffonier with a floor-length mirror, a large rolltop desk which had once been Grandpa’s but now belonged to Mama, and the four oak chairs, two of them rockers, which Grandpa had made for Big Ma as a wedding present." Pages 35-36

This quote shows what the living room of the Logan's house looks like. This place is important to the story because it is where a lot of the story and important conversations take place.

Several feet away the persistent sun made amber roads of shimmering sunlight upon the pond." pg.229

This forest has a deep meaning to everyone in the family and means a lot to Papa. All of the Logan's will sell and do anything to keep the forest. It shows the reader how much the land means to them and it even shows

The Simmses said that there was no sense in coming back for the pistol; they would simply go in and take it.”

Though the book doesn’t talk much of the setting of Strawberry and Mr. Barnett’s store this quote shows what happens there. It shows the reader how R.W. and Melvin are cruel people and got T.J. in deep trouble, by framing him for robbery and murderer. This strongly affects T.J. and the other characters later in the book, and makes the night riders and others come.

Several feet away the persistent sun made roads of shimmering sunlight upon the pond. A stillness hovered in the high air, soft, quiet, peaceful." Page 229

This explains how peaceful and beautiful the pond is. This is where the Logan children spend a lot of their time and they go there to relax. Mama also loves to go down to the pond and she would go with her parents at rough times.

Beyond the store, against the forest edge, were two gray clapboard houses and a small garden" - p.83

The Wallace's store is where children go to drink and spend their parents money. The Wallace's also burned Mr. Berry and his nephews. Mama strongly disagrees with people going to The Wallace's store and wants to boycott it.

This town is important because it is a center for racism, When Cassie hers she gets to go she is very excited of the fun she would have and the memories she would collect but instead all she remembered was the racism.]]> 2021-05-14 18:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cficarra1/xureoa345mcx3fni/wish/1525792961
