TJ and Stacey Compare and Contrast ROTHMIC

     TJ Avery and Stacey Logan are best friends.  They are alike in many ways, but also very different.  They share many likes and dislikes.
     TJ and Stacey both share the same race.  They also are both in seventh grade, i know this because in chapter one of the book Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, TJ tells Stacey that being in his moms seventh grade class want so bad last year.  They both in a family with many kids.
    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.
