1) Big Ma signs over the land so that they'll be no question as to who the land belongs to after her death.

2) Stacey was whipped because his mother believed he'd cheated on a test.

3) Mama wanted her children to see what kind of people the Wallaces were, and to see how cruel they could be.

4)

5)

6) Stacey couldn't hold the horses back when they were frightened by the shots fired by the truck and Papa's leg is injured.

7) She makes Cassie apologize because she doesn't want anyone else hurt.

8)

9) Mr. Jamison agrees to put up the credit for a group of black families to shop in Vicksburg and says that not all white Southerners feel the same way as the Grangers. Nonetheless, he reminds the Logans that the Wallace store is on Granger land and that Harland Granger lives in the past.

10) The black school is only open from Oct. until March so the children could be home to halp their parents with the reaping and sowing.
