Lesson Before Dying:Reflection Ch.3-6

Chapter 3: In chapter 3 Grant drives Tante Lou and Miss Emma to Mr.Pichot’s plantation which Miss Emma had worked on so that she can influence him to let Grant visit Jefferson in jail. All to teach Jefferson how to be a man. I think that was a good idea because even tho Jefferson is a dead man walking he will be able to die as a man. 


Chapter 4: In chapter 4 I feel that Grant was wrong for not staying for his aunts dinner. He was being a little to hurtful because of the fact that he did not want to do it. Grant had a lot on his mind dealing with Jefferson’s death sentence  and going to see Vivian. 


Chapter 5: Grant is very frustrated about Jefferson’s situation. While he’s teaching he takes his frustration out on his students. With all of that stress and frustration built up inside of him Grant hits one of his students only because he was taking too long on a math problem. I thought that Grant was being very unprofessional.



Chapter 6: In this chapter Grant goes to talk to the Sheriff, Sam Guidry, about visiting Jefferson before he is executed. Grant has been waiting for two hours to have a word with the sheriff so he became very impatient. If I was in that situation I would’ve became frustrated and impatient as well. Grant finally talked to Mr.Guidry and he granted his request.

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. The theme of this poem is that silence can be very powerful. With that being said this poem taught me life lessons as well. I tried my best to analyze the poem on my own and I got very far but with the help of my teacher and classmates I understood it even more. I’m glad that my teacher introduced this author and this specific poem to me because I really enjoyed reading and analyzing it.

Reflection A Lesson Before Dying: Ch.1-3

Chapter 1 left me yearning to see what was going to happen next because I thought Jefferson’s attomey story was convincing, but the court still found Jefferson guilty for the murder of Alcee Grope. Chapter 2 introduced Grant, the narrator, who is also Tante Lou’s nephew. I didn’t like that Tante Lou made Grant go and talk to Henri pichot against his will not knowing Louis Rougon would accuse him of making Miss Emma and Tante Lou come and talk to Henri about Jefferson. 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. Here’s what I wrote.   When I look in the mirror I see a beautiful black Queen with pretty succulent lips and a nice smile. 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.
