suspenseful and depressing
"i cried as the gray light of the rising sun fell in ghostly shadows over the land. the tears rolled hot down my cheeks" -song of the trees by Mildred D. Talyor
The title of this German folk song is 'Ein Mannlein steht' (There stands a little man). Gretel sings this in act 2, scene 1 of "Hansel and Gretel", an opera by Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921).
In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," the Wallaces and Mr. Granger take actions against the Logan family and other black families for shopping at the Vicksburg market because they believe black people should not have the same access to goods and services as white people. They aim to enforce racial segregation and maintain economic superiority by using intimidation and violence to discourage black patronage at white-owned businesses.
