What was T.J's relationship with his friends in in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry?I know that his relationship with his new friends didn't go well...

T.J. Avery is one of the least likable characters in
Mildred Taylors novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. His behavior
angers the Logans, who are still among his best friends. When he deservedly receives a
failing grade for cheating in Miss Logan's class, he reports her to the white
administrators, lying about the situation. He lures Stacey to the Wallace's store,
getting Stacey in trouble in the process. His lies continue, alienating most of his old
friends. He eventually joins up with the Simms' in the hope of getting rich quick, but
he finds out too late that they are only using him. Disloyal and deceitful, T.J.'s
behavior proves to be the polar opposite of that of the other African-American
characters.
