The
genre
of “Role of Thunder and Hear my Cry”
The Novel Role of Thunder and Hear my Cry
is written by Mildred Taylor. It is based on the historical real life of African American living in Mississippi. Old
customs, rituals of family life, interaction with them are clearly mentioned in
the novel. The main character of the novel is a nine-year
girl, Cassie Logan, who narrates her growing experience in white people. Her
family was living in a miserable condition from many generations. People from
any age group can enjoy reading this novel. This novel is an inspirational
story of a black family who fights
together to survive their piece of ground. The girl believed that everyone
should be treated equally. She questioned herself that why the white Americans
let them lives their life freely. She
observed negativity around her and faces many difficulties in her life.
In this novel, the Black children showed
their disapproval to accept the unjust act of the bus driver who splatters mud
on them. They showed their disapproval that they would not read the old books
of the white students and harmed by them. They spoke for their individual
rights before their teachers and guardians. The novel gives a lesson of
collective family bonding and fights for
your rights. Young children will get motivation from this novel. Social
discrimination and human injustice are highlighted in this novel that how the
black people are snatched away from their rights of living legally, socially
and morally. The story of the novel revolved around social inequity. The writer tells us that we should not accept the
class system that one is higher and the other class is lower in status. The
novel is overall a good approach to all age groups to teach them the importance
of family bond, their collective efforts and rejection of status quo.
Course Evaluation
1.
I learnt a lot
from this subject as it provides me knowledge about past people, their traditions, living styles and standards. I like
the most in the subject is the past
people culture and civilization as it increased my knowledge about past people
and also helps me in preparing for exams.
2.
I would suggest adding some contents from the Stone Age people like my sense of curiosity wants to know about
Stone Age people. And I would request you to please discuss each topic in
detail to develop a better understanding of past people. The way of teaching
was quite good as it keeps the students
engaged during the lecture.
3.
The teacher was
available to us and also, we can approach him out
of our class. The teacher also conducted a few short classes for the
weak students. The availability of teacher in the class increases my
involvement in the subject. I feel at ease while asking some queries from the teacher which were in my mind.
4.
The course outline was good as it was
completed on time. The teacher taught us very well about the past. I got a very
clear understanding of the major aspects
of the subject. The literature taught to us is very informative and it can be made easier for us to understand it by doing
some changes. Useful information about the history, folks of past, their
civilization is mentioned in a very smooth and clear way. The early
civilization is more interesting for me I search more about the civilization of
past people from different internet resources.
5.
Short assessments
should be conducted to analyze the students understanding of the subject.
Overall material and contents are good.
