A Lesson Before Dying

Day 4



Grant seems to be very impulsive towards his students in chapter 5. I understand that this story takes place in the 1940's but he shouldn't hurt his students the way he is doing. Both physically and emotionally, he is wrong for hurting these children. He is acting out badly just because he can't have his way and not help Jefferson. He is taking his anger out on the wrong people. If he is so angry, he should take this anger to the jury of the 13 white men who decided to sentence Jefferson to death. He's taking the "teaching you how to be a man/woman" phrase the wrong way. If he wants to push some one into maturing and growing up, he should first learn patience, then try teaching the students how they are supposed to be men and women in his school. He knows that he doesn't have a choice but to teach Jefferson how to be a man, therefore, he needs to put his feelings aside until this is all over.
