A Lesson Before Dying:Reflection Ch.12-13

Chapter 12: Okayy so chapter 12 was mainly about how grant couldn’t face Miss Emma after seeing what was happening with Jefferson so grant went to a club called “rainbow” when he went to the club he ordered a beer and he also was listening to some men talk about Jackie Robinson while listening to them talk it reminded grant of the time when he was a kid and everyone use to love a boxer named “joe Louis”   And Grant tried to get Vivian to run off with him but she refuses because she’s scared to get her kids taken away from her by her husband . 




Chapter Chapter 13 starts off when Grant Gerard the new character named “Miss Eloise Bouie” called Grant’s aunt so they can go to church together . Grant didn’t want to go to church so instead he tried to avoid it and had to spend his morning ignoring singing from all of the people around him .Also in this chapter Miss Emma makes Grant explain to her how it went when he went to go see Jefferson even though he lied and said Jefferson was fine .The reverend is worried that neither Grant or Jefferson had talked to god . We find out that Grant doesn’t believe in god

What a powerful poem!

What a powerful poem!   Today’s lesson was on a poem called I Felt a Funeral in My Brain by Emily Dickinson. I really loved the poem because of its complexity and because it is very powerful.

I’m glad that my teacher introduced this author and this specific poem to me because I really enjoyed reading and analyzing it.

From reading chapter 3 I implied that the lesson of the book would be being acknowledge for what you truly are. In Jefferson’s case a man.

Mirror

Today we read a poem called “Mirror” by Sylvia Plath. The poem is about self perception and disbelief.  After we got done reading the poem my instructor gave us an assignment. The assignment was to look in our camera and write down what we see in our reflection.

I see a hound lady who doesn’t takes any mess from anyone, a young lady who will soon be powerful and beyond successful in everything that she does. I see a fierce young lady who has no flaws.
