In this novel I also learnt more about the slavery circle. In reading the book 'Rolls of Thunder Hear my Cry', I have learnt many facts about slavery and have encountered many cruel and prejudice remarks from white children towards black children in this book. When reading this book I discovered that even after the time of slavery - in early 1933, the aftermath of the incident was immense resulting with a number of white people to still believe that they are more superior than any coloured or black people. Cassie and her brothers are on the receiving ends of cruel remark like 'Nigger,Nigger, mud - eaters ahahaha.' This is a conversation between children proving that the children (white) are influenced by the behaviour and attitude of their parents towards a black person.
English 101 Essay on Gender Shema Theory Breaking through the Barriers Why is schema theory the most important gendered issue facing young adults today?

This racial language is disgusting and should not be said by a young boy, but it goes to show that Ben has inherited some of his mother’s racism. On the other hand Daisy is extremely hurt and distressed by Ben’s language towards her.

She made it impossible for him to become friends with Daisy only because of her coloured skin tone.
Women in particular have been portrayed to be flawless and tremendously thin, and if you are not then you must become flawless and thin. Media messages have a great effect on young children that want to be liked and sadly enough they think that media is what matters. Some of these messages have resulted in young girls and boys going to the lengths of eating disorders to look like some of the messages they receive. After doing some research on today’s media, I found that messages are hidden everywhere for children to see. Children’s likes and dislikes are defined on MTV and BET.
Kat is a very strong, independant and opinionated person who never lets her opinions go to waste, whether they are aimed at her teachers or her fellow peers. She is against dating and often "sneers at the idiocy of teenage social life". She is cynical about many things, and does not believe that she needs to be like most teenagers that she is surrounded by.

She strongly dislikes her sister’s eagerness to fit in at school and tells Bianca, “You don’t always have to be what other people want you to be”, which shows us that she thinks Bianca should be herself and not follow in the path that her fellow school mates take.

Education is when some people consciously teach and others learn from the teacher. If we all teach our kids around the world to be better than we are, regardless of living circumstances, we will change social. The girl theory, is so heart breaking because I feel it is so true. It seems the older I get, the preteen pregnancy is getting worse. In most cases I believe preteen pregnancy is a reflection of that little girls life.
