The correct answer is D. Page 10 of a book by author Erica Redden

Explanation:

An in-text citation occurs when the author of a text quotes, summarizes or paraphrases an external author or source. Considering the information cited does not belong to the author of the text it is necessary to acknowledge the authorship of the source and the author. Because of this, most authors follow the MLA manual, which is manual for academical writing used in the U.S. and many other countries that provides guidelines for writing including citations.

According to this manual, during in-text citation it is necessary to include the last name of the author cited and the number page where the information used can be found. This is applied by using the author's last name and number page in parentheses at the end of the citation or by including the author's name during the text and adding the number page in parenthesis at the end of the citation. Therefore, in the citation showed in the question the number 10 refers to the "page 10 of a book by author Erica Redden".

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.
