[edit] Plot

I notice this article lacks a plot summary. I actually just read this book for a class on teaching Young Adult Lit, and I can write a bjects.--136.176.22.254 (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disagreement with the invisible comment on the article

I have to say that I strongly disagree with the hidden comment that appears on the edit screen on the article, for 2 reasons. 1) I don't agree that all of the information is really necessary for the average reader to understand the very long article: this isn't supposed to be a replacement for reading the book, and 2) I don't agree that anyone has the right to basically "lock down" a version of any Wikipedia article. Joyous | Talk 23:54, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

The book has so many things that are unrelated that it's impossible to summarise shortly, however some things can be taken out and details removed. And no one has the right to "lock down" a wiki like that, I removed the comment. For those that weren't editing this article before, the comment was "WHEN EDITING THIS PAGE, ALL THE INFORMATION THAT IS ON THIS PAGE IS REQUIRED FOR THE USER TO UNDERSTAND IT. PLEASE AVOID REMOVING INFORMATION, UNLESS IT IS PATENT NONSENSE! THANKS, USER:KILO-LIMA"

[edit] Book Report on Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

I read this book with my class and I think it was an extraordinary book. Other people have they're own opinions. I learned a lot and appriciated this book. People know about segregation but they never really come to understand it. Mildred D. Taylor did a fabulous job. This book deserved all those awards. God Bless! - Destiny

[edit] Cleanup Tag Proposal

This article has come a long way, and even if it's not the best it could possibly be, I believe it meets Wikipedia's quality standards. I propose that the tag be removed, but wish to get consensus first. Please state your opinion below. Arknascar44 ^{¡Hablar Conmigo!} 14:39, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Very well, I will remove it and assume "Silence equals Consent". Arknascar44 ^{¡Hablar Conmigo!} 19:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No Cassie?

I noticed that Cassie wasn't listed as one of the main characters. Is that a mistake someone made? I can't fix it myself since I haven't read the book in awhile, but would someone else be able to? Dreamfar 15:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Y Done (see here) Looks like it was just a messed up header. Cheers, Arky ^¡Hablar! 17:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This article needs some serious cleanup. For example, I noticed a paragraph in the plot summary that used two different names for the main character's father ("David Logan" and "Papa"). The character paragraphs could look considerably nicer and be more informative. Thesithwithashotgunshell (talk) 00:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
