In general, the constant rising action of Roll
of Thunder, Hear My Cry is two-fold: One concerns the attempts by the
Grangers to reclaim their former lands from the Logan family. The second concerns the
Wallace family's attempts to maintain black interests in their store by terrorizing
black families at night. The specific rising action takes place when the lynch mob sets
out to find T. J. Avery, who has been blamed for the break-in and assault at the Barnett
store. The mob also decides to include the Logans' friend, Mr. Morrision, to their list
of prospective victims. The action climaxes when the cotton field is set on fire, which
serves to diffuse the lynch mob.
