Compare and contrast Cassie and Stacey’s point of view of the events in the Barnett store. Why are their reactions so different? Support your answer with evidence from the text.

Outside, Stacey tells Cassie that even though she knows that Mr. Barnett is wrong, Mr. Barnett doesn't. Cassie walks down the sidewalk, thinking about Mr. Barnett's words to her, and bumps into Lillian Jean Simms, who is with Jeremy and their two younger brothers. Lillian Jean demands an apology, which Cassie reluctantly gives, and then tells her that she should walk in the street. Cassie is trying to keep from being pushed off the sidewalk by Lillian Jean when Mr. Simmons appears and twists Cassie's arm behind her back. Stacey sees the situation from a practical point of view. Mr. Barnett is racist and he doesn't know any differently. Cassie is still angry and doesn't accept his behaviour.
