Quotation Assignment

Chapter 3

'' I didn't raise no hog, and I don't want no hog to go set in that chair. I want a man to go set in that chair.''- page 20


2. This quotation characterize Jefferson in many ways. Ever since the judge sentenced Jefferson to death, Jefferson now is a hog based on what many believe he had did during the time of the robbery. Even if Jefferson was innocent, nobody is against Jefferson during the trial and it hurt Jefferson because he know that he had to be sentenced to death. I would also said that it characterize Miss Emma because she knows that Jefferson is not a hog. He knows that Jefferson is innocent. And she would do what it takes to fix this.

3. This quotation indicate a conflict. The reason is Miss Emma doesn't want Jefferson to set in that chair because she knows that Jefferson is innocent. Also, Miss Emma knows that if Jefferson does in fact set in that chair, she said that at least that he will set on it as a man, not a hog.
