Lesson Before Dying Reflection

     Throughout the "Lesson Before Dying I felt that Jefferson would bee unteachable. He was being a mute and he gave Grant and the rest of his family the cold shoulder. For that reason I would never think that Jefferson and Grant would become friends in the end. It was very unexpected for the to become friends but when they did the novel took a turn in a good direction. When Jefferson actually talked it showed his personality and expressed that he was not ungrateful for Grant coming to visit him, he just never had anyone actually believe in him. The author publishing Jefferson's diary in the end was the most interesting part. It showed how Jefferson felt in that cell when Grant their and it made it visible to see Jefferson's growth throughout the novel.
     When it got closer to Jefferson's date it made a feel emotional. In the end of the book the reader could that the delivery of the chair made the town stop. From whites to blacks they both felt sympathy for Jefferson. It made me realize that Jefferson may have been looked at as a criminal but in the end he was no criminal nor a hog. He was man because it takes courage to be able to go to the chair and only think about making his nannan proud. On the other hand for Jefferson and Grand to become friends I do not understand why he did not go to the electrocution to comfort Jefferson; that is something that a friend should do. In Conclusion the end of the story was sad, but it made me proud to see that Grant's task was accomplished and Jefferson would always be known for the great man he had grown in to be.
