"Miss Emma was in bed"

In chapter 21, When Reverend Ambrose and others came to Miss Emma's house to tell her that her son Jefferson will be executed in April eighth. when she heard what they said, it was very hard for her and she went to bed to cry, because  the day and the time when the person that she loved,have to leave the world forever for something that he didn't do it.

But she wanted that Grant and Reverend Ambrose tried to make Jefferson understand that he was a human being.But Grant did not want to help Jefferson.Vivian then talk with Grant that he had to help Jefferson, because Miss Emma wants her son to die knowing that he is a human and not a hog, because if her son dies believing that he is a hog would be more hard for Miss Emma, Because she wants memories, memories of Jefferson standing like a man. Miss Emma know that she will be with him soon, but she wants memories for one day in the earth.


I think it must be very hard to lose someone very dear, and I think it is harder when you know that person is innocent.To Miss Emma is very difficult to say goodbye to her child.Hopefully Grant and Rev. Ambrose  make Jefferson die like a man.So Miss Emma can have peace knowing that her son died as a man.
