After worrying about marrying a woman from a different culture, the narrator learns that her family is a lot like his own.

Explanation:

The narrator shows somehow his  worries about being with a family from another cultural background. He had always been pushed by his Mexican grandmother into marrying a Mexican girl. His worries are shown in these words: "Slightly embarrassed, I tried to pull away ..". Then, the narrator concludes that there was not much difference between his family and hers:  "Her people were like Mexicans, only different". He means that in matters of family issues both families were the same , being their birth places the only difference. This is a matter of chance.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
