A Lesson Before Dying reflection: day 1

  The whole beginning telling of the story at the trial was quite intriguing to me. Personally I do not believe it to an extent. He could have been telling the truth with plot holes making a deep hole into the overall story. During the trial Jefferson is deemed nothing more lowly than a hog and sentenced to death. It is apparent that during this time a fair trial for blacks were not active. Ms Emma wants Jefferson to “die as a man” , she says. She has accepted his fate but it has hurt her so deeply for him to recognized in such a way she wants grant to help her by going to talk with him as a teacher or in my eyes as a mentor. As she begs Mr. Henry Pichot for a co-sign in helping Jefferson his demeanor is sour. He truly could care less about her feeling nor for jefferson. He did say that Jefferson commuted the crime surely with heart. This brings forth his cold stance of Jefferson’s imminent doom as unchangable in anyway.
