Chapter 3-4 Discussion Question

Chapter 3

1. There was an interchange provided between Henry and Miss Emma that represents the uneasy relationship that remain between the races. Henry's insistence that Jefferson ''did it'' redirect the plot narrative because Henry believes that Jefferson is guilty and he knows that Jefferson was responsible for his actions during the crime scene.

2. Miss Emma keep pushing Grant to go, but she is not seeing Grant as this same person for a very long time.

3. Analyzation: When Grant went away from college, he vowed to never enter through the servant's entrance of Pichot ever again. He refreshed that in his memory and how he felt that when he was young. It like things have never changed.

4. She want somebody else to take her place even though she really want Mr. Henri, not the sheriff.

Chapter 4

1. It emphasizes and expands on the public defender's summation in Jefferson's trail which occurred in Ch1. It echo the public defenders summation in the trail. Just like the hogs being killed in the slaughterhouse, Jefferson compared to a hog earlier in the story, and it shows that he will be  killed like an animal.

2. He feel compelled to flee because of how he have to teach Jefferson how to die when Grant himself doesn't know what to start on this process. What keep him there was his light-skinned girlfriend Vivian. The narrator did in fact expresses the need to get away from the town where he lives until that plan had turned around once he had a girlfriend.
