"Corn for a hog"
2. Does the quotation characterize Grant, Jefferson, or another character? If so, in what ways does it characterize?
This quotation characterize Jefferson. In chapter 1, Jefferson is being called a hog. However, jefferson is called a hog to confirm his innocence of the conflict. Being called a hog is being called stupid. He got called a hog because he didnt had the thought of run away during the conflict. 1. Does the quotation relate to a theme? If so, which theme and how does it relate?
This quotation relate to the theme of discrimination. However, I choose the theme of discrimination because Jefferson is called a hog during chapter 1. However, Jefferson has been treated as an animal in jail. He have the thought that he is a hog instead a human being. He refuse to accept he is a human.
Chapter 17.
"You can talk like that; you know you go'n walk out here in hour. I bet you wouldn't be talking like that if you knowed you was go'n stay in here"
1. Does the quotation relate to a theme? If so, which theme and how does it relate?
This quotation relates to the theme of empathy. Because in chapter 13 & 14 Grant tried to lie to Miss Emma telling her about Jefferson, before Miss Emma die.
2. Does the quotation symbolize the lack of freedom of a black person at this time?
This quote reperesents Jefferson because he in jail n he refused to accept he a human being. Also Grant wanna leave the city with Vivian. However, she dont want to because of her children.
