"Jefferson’s execution"


In Chapter 31,As the hour of Jefferson’s execution approaches, Grant steps outside the  schoolhouse,Thinking about old friends classmates, and baseball teammates. Some of his friends have died. Grant was saying that there will be more people like Jefferson. Grant wonders if he has caused Jefferson to lose faith in God and asks Jefferson to forgive his foolishness if he has robbed him of faith.

Then, Paul comes to the church to give him the Diary of Jefferson. Paul said that Jefferson had walked to the electric chair. Paul also said that Jefferson have more strength than any man in the room. When they executed him. He told Grant that he was a wonderful teacher, because he help Jefferson so he can walk to the chair and die with dignity.Paul offers Grant his hand and asks to be his friend. Grant takes the hand.


I think this chapter is very important tool, because we can read that in the end Jefferson walked till the electric chair as his godmother wanted it to be.And also we can read that Jefferson was strong for the time of his execution.I think Grant helped him to change and to see the things differently.And I also think that Grant and Miss Emma felt proud to know that Jefferson died with dignida.
