Three sentences explaining how the CHARACTER DEMONSTRATES THIS THEME: T.J. isn't very loyal to Stacey, he always is back stabbing him by lying or cheating him. T.J. isn't loyal to his race when he told the white men that Mrs. Logan wasn't a good teacher and doesn't teach what she's supposed to be teaching.
