A lesson before dying pages 82-114
Grant was still at Jeffereson's jail cell, and still talking to JEfferson. Whenever Grant asked hi,m something, Jefferson wouldn't respond. Finally Grant told him that he brought fried chicken for him, and told him to take a bite. But then Jefferson told Grant that Hogs dont eat like that. Jefferson got on his knees and showed Grant how hogs eat. Grant got upset and forgot he never saw that. When he went to Claibourne's bar, he got a couple of beers and tried looking for his girl, Vivian. He overheard people talking about Jackie Robinson and it made Grant thinking about him. Vivian finally showed up and they kissed for a little and went out with other teachers to eat. When Grant came home, his aunt asked what had happenend in the jail cell. He told her that everything was okay. Grant's aunt didn't believe him but Grant kept telling her it was okay.

I'm really interested in hearing your reaction to this book. What do you think of the scene with the chicken and the "hogs eat like this" demonstration? Does it disturb you?
You've done a great job in keeping up with the plot and summarizing events in the book. I was also hoping that you'd give your reactions, likes and dislikes, parts that interested you and parts that didn't, predictions. Work on doing more of that with your next book. Mr. C
