    However TJ and Stacey both have different personalities.  TJ is a sneaky And manipulative person, there is proof of this ,on page 11, where TJ sneaked over to the Wallace store a place owned by whites ,black parents do not want their kids going to the store for obvious reasons, and when his mom caught him TJ told her it was because his brother went over for free candy.  Only his brother did not go over to the store, TJ just said this so he would not be in trouble.  Stacey, on the other hand, is faithful and honest.  On page 79, TJ showed Stacey some cheat notes that he had copied, but Stacey took these notes and tore them up.  Stacey knew cheating was wrong.  Lastly the Logan’s own land and the Avery’s are sharecroppers.

ROTHMIC Chapter 5 prediction

       "Um, Mr. Barnett, I think you forgot 'bout our order here," I said without thinking.
       "Yes, now I didn't forget I will be with you in a minute."
       After saying that he went right along helping all them whites.  He would fill our order a little until a white came along and go help them and such it took a full thirty minutes before our order was read.  By this time Stacey and TJ had come back.
       "You shouldn't have said that he could have been real mad with us for not be respectful," Stacey lectured me.
        I didn't care though because it was to late now to take it back.  We continued on with our shopping.  I waited and watched our wagon to see if Big Ma had come back yet, but the boys didn't care they continued on shopping.
      "Uh, Stacey I think we should go back and wait for Big Ma, it isn't right just leaving like we did.  She will be mad," I complained.
       "Aw, hush up Cassie we will be fine."
        I knew we would be fine but not fine with the trouble they are causing.  Even though they weren't causing real trouble Stacey might get it for wondering away like this.
        They kept in shopping by now we almost had all of our shopping done.  I was starting to think that Big Ma may be proud of us instead of mad, but she did tell us to stay by the wagon.
         Once we were done shopping we head back to the wagon with all our goods and saw Big Ma was still not there. By this point I was worried.
          I guess I worried to soon though, because a second after we got there Big Ma come out of. The office and said she was proud of us.  We went home just before dark.

Ch.13 Cave

       Inside the dark and eerie cave my father and I saw nothing but blackness for walls, but there was others in the cave too. There were faces, the faces of the lost soul so the slaves of this town. They were being kept here. After the door opened the slaves recoiled and took of floating ghostly and quickly disappeared behind a hillock. They floated like the flames of torching held by a sconce. My father and I raced after them. Once they reached the end of he cave they pointed down another tunnel, as if to show where Pluto was headed. Then we ran down the tunnel and behind us we could hear the painful, lonely cries of the slaves souls begging for help.

That's when she heard a noise.  It was as if he sound was trying to hurry to the other end of the hall as she was.  But once she reached the end of he hall the sound disappeared into the crowd.  The sound was just walking with her.
