Read the following excerpt from "when greek meets greek."
fraser scratch his head. "i know of a landlord up the road who vow that he ain't ever taking anybody who come from the west indies. but he don't mind taking indians. he wouldn't know the difference when he see you is a indian . . them english people so foolish the believe every indian come from india."
which of the following statements is true?
a.) fraser is from the west indies
b.) ram is from india
c.) fraser doesn't want ram to get a room.
d.) ram is from the west indies
!

d.) Ram is from the West Indies

Fraser is telling Ram that the landlord says he won't take anyone from the West Indies. However, the landlord doesn't mind taking Indians. Also, the landlord doesn't know that people from the West Indies are Indian. With this, Fraser thinks that the landlord would take Ram because he can't tell the difference between someone from the West Indies and someone from India. This then means that Ram is from the West Indies, otherwise, this conversation would be pointless.

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.
