Chapter 3 questions

A lesson before dying.
Chapter 3 questions and quotation assignment.

Question 1.
Henri Pichot's insistence that Jefferson " did it" redirected the plot narrative by making it seem that Jefferson is a hog. It tells that Mr.Henri did not want to help Miss. Emma. It redirects that plot because the reader may believe that Jefferson is guilty since Jefferson nor the others are around to tell the full story.

Question 2.
Grant may feel that Miss.Emma is trying to make him feel guilty for not wanting to speak for her. Grant thinks that she means if he does not go then she will be upset with him. Grant may also feel that because Miss.Emma is friends with his aunt, he has to do her the favor. Grant knows that Miss.Emma means that he really has to go, even if he didn't want too. He had to go out of respect for Miss.Emma.

Question 3.

The back door was used by slaves, servants, and workers only. The back door also showed that blacks were not equal to whites. It brought Grant back memories from when him and his aunt worked for Henri. When Grant entered through the back door it made him feel deprived of his education and that he still worked for Henri.

Question 4.

Miss.Emma prevails on Henri by reminding him of everything she has done for his family. She tries to make him feel guilty and make him feel that he owes her for all the years she worked for him.

My dream , post 2

    My dream is to become a Forensic Pathologist. Despite the fact that I have a child, I will push myself for the best. I will score high on my ACT. I will finish high school with an honors diploma. I will graduate in the top of my class. I will enroll in college at the University of West Florida. I will take classes that are relevant to my major.
     To make sure that my dream isn't deferred, I will keep any thing negative away from me. I will not have another child until I graduate college. Also, I will study harder. I will make sure I keep my grades up in college. I will look more into the Forensic Pathologist work field. I will get a job to help pay for the necessary classes. Lastly , I will keep my faith in God, and trust his work.

Introduction/ MLK

Hello my name is Cheyenne Johnson. I attended BC Rain High School. I love to cheer. I was a cheerleader for BC Rain High School during the 2015-2016 school year. I also enjoy dancing and twirling a baton. My expectations for the 2016-2017 school year is to make all A's in class as I did in the pervious school year. My goals after school is to graduate college to become a Forensic Pathologist. During the school year I would also like to maintain a positive attitude. My goals are to also be the best teen mom that I can be.
       I personally believe that Martin Luther King Jr's dream were both achieved and unachieved. I believe it was achieved because segregation came to an end , and blacks and whites could be together. His dream was achieved because any skin color can go into a restaurant , use the same water fountain, and go to the same school. On the other hand, I believe it was not achieved because racism still takes place. For example , whites are killing black's and black's are killing whites. Also, police brutality still takes place in the world.
