in roll of thunder hear my cry what would you say stacey logan's political views are?
Sir Stacey: A Code of Honor Stacey has a "code of honor" (as Cassie calls it) (4.195) that dictates how he behaves in relation to others: Despite our every effort to persuade Stacey otherwise, when Mama came home he confessed that he had been fighting T.J. at the Wallace store and that Mr. Morrison had stopped it. He stood awkwardly before her, disclosing only those things which he could honorably mention. He said nothing of T.J.'s cheating or that Christopher-John, Little Man, and I had been with him, and when Mama asked him a question he could not answer honestly, he simply sat fidgeting nervously throughout the interview. (4.243) So, even though T.J. got him in trouble, Stacey won't snitch on him. He admits his own guilt and then stops. From this, we get the sense that Stacey is a good guy—but we also worry about him a little. Cassie is willing to break (or at least fudge) the rules. And in this world, being a black kid who won't fudge the rules could be pretty dangerous.
