A Lesson before dying pages 67-82

The part I read was basically about Grant, his aunt and Miss Emma, going to Bayonne to meet Jefferson in his jail cell. Miss Emma made Jefferson some food for him and fresh clothing to offer him. When they were in the car, it was very quiet, and nobody talked. When they got to the jail building, the deputy had to search them to see if they were criminals and they had to look through the food to see if it is okay to bring in. When they went in, Miss Emma tried talking with him, but Jefferson didn't look at her nor talk to her. It wasn't a happy moment for Miss Emma so she left crying. The next day, Grant was forced to go alone by his aunt. Miss Emma was sick so she had to stay home with Grant's aunt. When he went to the jail cell of Jefferson, he asked if Grant brought any corn. Grant asked why, and Jefferson told him that thats what hogs eat.
