  1. 1) I agree. Bullies tend to pick on people when they feel bad about themselves or are jealous of the child they're picking on.
    2) I think that T.J. would be the bully in "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry" because he's always tricking people into giving him their things. If he wants something he'll pick on the person who has it until they give it to him.

  2. I think that bullies bully people because of problems in their family's and that it affects their everyday life and lifestyle. I think T.J. is the bully because he picks on the Logans.

Another example of Lillian Jean being a bully is useing Cassie as a slave and then tackles her after she puts the books down and says she did'nt want to carry them anymore and told Lillian Jean that she needed to carry them.

  8. Yes, for example whenever a bully beats on kids his father most likely beat on him. I think that T.J. is a bully becaus for one he pursadued Stacey to give him his new jacket that he got from his uncle. Secondly he told the Wallaces about how Christopher John, Little Man, Cassie, and Stacey's mom fail him.

  11. I agree with the psychologists, because when a person feels bad, they usualy try to take out their anger on someone else.I think that the bully in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", might be T.J, because he is oftenly framing other people for what he had done. He also makes fun of people to try and get what they have if he wants it.
