What is Cassie like? Point to an example from Chapter 1. From Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry

different situations we experience in life may be of   great influence   in our personality. it 's clear that a critical moment may change many decisions we could take.

in someway, refering to the book's description of the facts,   it's difficult to state how a person could feel commited, or willing to achieve his or her goals in life and to focus on his or   her personality development.

the person may lose interest on how he or she is or looks like, or even who he or she is. the main focus is trying to survive, or suffer less, looking forward to eating, dreaming about being free one day.

in this situation is very difficult to think about development. it's rather impossible.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
