Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
Why is the land so important to the Logans?
What is different the the Logan family that other black family's don't have?

Repeated again and again throughout the book is a refrain spoken by Big Mama, Mama, and Papa: "we won't lose the land." In a culture where the memory of slavery is still strong, land is a symbol of independence and autonomy. Because they own land, the Logans can afford to shop in Vicksburg and are not beholden to the whims of landlords as sharecroppers (other black families) are. Unlike Mr. Granger who sees the land as a symbol of his family's "rightful" domination over blacks, for the Logans, the land is intrinsically linked to family. Cassie says that it doesn't matter whose name the deed is in because it will always be "Logan land." It is only when she realizes the seriousness of the threats to her family and their land that she cries "for...the land" at the end of the book.

Why is Logan land important? People ask.
well Logan land is important because big ma and Paul Edward would always go to the wood and just talk and make memories. Also they worked so hard to get this land by growing cotton. Lastly Paul Edward began as a slave and it is unusual for a slave to own land so that is a big milestone.
hi your responses have really helped me and i was wondering if mabye you had some quote throughout the book about anything to do with what cassie learns about the land
thankss
