The shovel felt heavy in Stanley's soft, fleshy hands.
He tried to jam it into the earth, but the blade banged
against the ground and bounced off without making a
dent. The vibrations ran up the shaft of the shovel and
into Stanley's wrists, making his bones rattle.
It was still dark. The only light came from the moon
and the stars, more stars than Stanley had ever seen
before. It seemed he had only just gotten to sleep
when Mr. Pendanski came in and woke everyone up.
Mr. Pendanski wakes everyone up.
Stanley sees the moon and the stars.
O Stanley's hands feel the sting of the blow.
The shovel feels heavy in Stanley's hands.
Using all his might, he brought the shovel back down
onto the dry lake bed. The force stung his hands but
made no impression on the earth. He wondered if he
had a defective shovel. He glanced at Zero, about
fifteen feet away, who scooped out a shovelful of dirt
and dumped it on a pile that was already almost a foot
tall.

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.
