Theme blog

             In the book "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry" meaningful changes happen over time and takes sacrifice because that is what the whole books theme is. For example, Uncle Hammer was overcoming the fact his skin color is different and not letting that bring him down. Uncle Hammer made the made the most about being a free slave. He has a job, a car and a loving family to keep him on his feet. Although this is a meaningful change it did happen slowly. Uncle Hammer could really care less what about what people think about it.

           "Big Ma stammered, "Hammer, you–you went and got a car like Harlan Granger's?" Uncle Hammer smiled a strange, wry smile. "Well, not exactly like it, Mamma. Mine's a few months newer..." This is a little evidence that meaningful changes happen over time and takes sacrifice because even "Big Ma" was surprised with the car that he had because it took a lot of time. Although, that is not the message. The car symbolizes Uncle Hammer and his success. The success took a lot of hard work and time to do what he wanted to do. That is to help out his family and try to be there for them like they were for him.

            This books theme really reaches out to me in my opinion. It does because I have been going through a lot of change throughout my life. It has been meaningful too along the way. I feel like I can really relate to the book. This is the main reason why I chose it for the theme blog. I can continuosly talk about this theme on and on.
