It is hard to tell who is who because people have hankerchifs over their mouths and people have hats on too. There is thunder and people thought that started the fire but it didn't, David did to stop the hanging.

It is interesting that the racists were actually working side by side with the people who they were racists against to stop the fire. It was hard to tell who was who because everyone was cover from head to toe to protect them self from the smoke (you could not tell the color their color of skin). The weather in the chapter 11 makes the fire more convincing, helps stop the fire and saves T.J. from being hurt by the gangsters.

Hello, what's up?

A.) It's hard to tell who is who because the people both white and black were wearing the same clothes. The fire was made to keep T.J. from getting hung.

B.) The weather in chapter 11 helped to make it look like maybe some bolt of lighting had made the fire. The fire was made so that T.J would be safe. Well Adios

Hello Everyone!!! Ok, I LOVED Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry! I think that, that book is the best book that I have ever read! Except for The Lightning Theif, The Sea of Monsters, and Eragon! I thought that the book was very empowering.
1. When the fire is out, she couldn't tell who was who because they all had hancercheifs over their necks and faces so the fire wouldn't hurt them. Or maybe she couldn't tell who they were because she was very worried about T.J. and couldn't see trait. I don't know ,but maybe they were all black people. I just thought it was very sad! Althought, it was awsome. But, sad.
2. I think that the weather indicates the theam of the story cwite well. It is always thundering at night and the book is called Roll of thunder Hear my Cry! And the book is very sad so it would have fires and rain in it! The book was empowering so it had lightning! And it was sad so it had clouds and rain!
well I better get going, Tooteloo!!!

1.It is hard to tell who they are because they have hankerchiefs on their faces and they have hats on too.It is interesting because it is a mixture of black and white people mixed together and working together without fighting.
2.It was thundering and lightening and the people that were putting it out probably thought that the thunder and lightening probably caused it.When it started to rain it help put out the fire. The thuder also set the mood for all of the sad and sary events going on.

This book rocks!!! I thought that the ending was really good. It left you sitting there thinking about what the book had just said.This book is full of just about the right amount of everything, worry, suspense, happiness, humor and much more. Even though we didn't have much time to read this book, I still really enjoyed the book.

1. It is hard to tell who is who because everyone is wearing a lot of clothes like hankerchifs and hats.

2. If it was not thundering then everyone would know that someone else started it and T.J. probably would have been killed.

It,s hard to tell because of their hats and the hankerchiefs they had on their mouths.The weather at the time made the people think that the storm was to blame for the fire. It was actually David who did it to try to stop the hanging.

Its hard because everyone was wearing hats and it was smokey. The rain helped the fire go out, only it didnt help a lot becase TJ still went to prison.

Hey I loved the book at times but sometimes it got boring to read at the end you could not tell who thepeople were because they had hankerchiefs over their faces and the weather was lightning and thundering so that they would think the lightning started the fire and make it more convincing that the lightning started it.
