Keith Nolan excelled in the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. He hoped it would help him
become an Army officer. But the military requires that all soldiers pass a hearing test. Nolan is deaf and therefore
Ineligible for military service. At the end of the ROTC program, the cadet had to turn in his uniform while others in
the program were promoted into the Army. But Nolan is determined to change the rule that prevents people who
are deaf from serving. He hopes to achieve his lifetime dream of working in military Intelligence. The tenacious
29-year-old is urging Congress to pass a bill that would allow people who are deaf to enlist in the military.

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.
