Answer:

Cassie is a character that speaks her mind no matter the circumstances. She is almost like a tiny, young version of mama. The same attitude, the same way of speaking, but they do resolve matters very differently. Cassie resolves things, or at least says she will, in a rough mean manner, while mama likes to resolve thing more politely. Cassie says, "if i see that man again i will not his block off" or digs a hole in a rode. Where mama resolves a problem by ripping a page out of a book, and taping a new one in. Cassie is a dynamic character and kind of changes with the story. But Cassies attitude is the thing that makes everyone love her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: From the very beginning, we find out that Cassie speaks her mind—even if it gets her whipped. When she notices the racial slur in the "new" school textbooks, she speaks up. When she learns that T.J. got his little brother, Claude, into trouble for going down to the Wallace store, she wishes she could "knock his block off". We suspect she is like this due to Mama's influence: like mama, like daughter. Mama's known to be a "radical" compared to some of the other teachers and people in the town, and she's not afraid to stand up for what's right.Plus, Cassie's persistent, and uses her words to get what she wants. She's usually able to manipulate Stacey into telling her things that she wants to know, like what happened to Papa and Mr. Morrison on the trip back from Vicksburg.

hope this helps :)
