A Lesson Before Dying reflection: day 8

The fourth day of visiting Jefferson came quickly but there was a change. Ms. Emma was “sick” and no longer able to come leaving Grant alone in this journey. He had finally reached a closing point where his feelings were overbearing. He was tired of being humiliated by whites around him in almost every way possible. All the trouble he’s gone through just to please Ms. Emma and his aunt he felt was not worth so. He continues to say that everything his aunt taught him about living and not turning into the “nigger” he was born to be had only brought him closer than ever before.
