when Grant first meets Guidry the sheriff, Guidry behaves very rudely. He pretends not to know Grant, which is unlikely, since Grant is visiting the prison for a very specific reason: to teach an insasasen. Furthermore, the sheriff shows a general lack of interest as Grant sits across from him and puts his shoes on his desk. Grant and the sheriff have only a brief conversation, during which the sheriff warns him to end the lesson immediately if the situation worsens for Jefferson.

Every visit from Miss emma puts a lot of stress on her. Every time she leaves the prison she cries. It hurts her to see Jefferson so alone and hopeless, because she loves him very much.
Nevertheless, Miss Emma does not want to visit Jefferson in the future, the reasons for this are not clear, but it can be assumed that she thinks it would be better to leave Jefferson alone, because she hopes that he would get better. She also hopes that Grant will have more influence on Jefferson, since he would be the only one Jefferson talks to.

Grant describes the courthouse as a kind of castle that could have come from Europe. The courthouse is built of red brick, has a large tower that contains a large clock. It is also surrounded by a large parking lot. In front of the courthouse there are statures of confederal soldiers.
Jefferson's cell, on the other hand, contains only the bare necessities of life. A very simple bed with an army blanket, a toilet but no seating. Light shines only through a very small window, from which nothing can be seen except the top of a tree.

Grant is a very strict and mean teacher. When his students do not know the answers to his questions, he punishes them with violence(p.35 l. 10-13). Therefore, he is feared by his students(p.36 l.23) Another example of his violent nature is shown on page 38 l. 1-7, where he beats a little boy who is playing with a bug. Furthermore, he cannot empathize with other people and shows no compassion (p.39 l 5-14).

The church pictured has many similarities to a simple shed. The church was built of wood and painted white. It has four windows and a small entrance door. On the roof of the church there is a small elevation. In general, it can be said that the church looks worn and old. If you did not know that it is a church, you would not be able to identify the building as a church. The school described in the book has many similarities, it is also in a church with four windows (p.33 l.31). The fact that students kneel down to write on their very old benches fits the external image of the school. Furthermore, there is a blackboard inside the church, but the interior of the church is not visible in the picture.

Bayonne is a small city with six thousand inhabitants. Three thousand five hundred are white and two thousand five hundred are black. In this city, all public facilities are segregated by skin color; there are schools, movie theaters, churches all segregated by skin color. The blacks and the whites each have their own facilities. However, the facilities of the whites are of higher quality than those of the blacks. In the black neighborhood, the situation is even more drastic: there are only houses and trees, while in the white neighborhood there are boat docks, nightclubs, and restaurants.

Going through the back door is symbolic of having done something secretly. On page 20 in line 15, this metaphor is used to express that Grants secretly left Mr Henri's house 10 years earlier to go to university. Miss Emma and his aunt said that they would make it there without him,so Grabt decided to leave the plantation to go to the university.

The phrase, "I could feel her eyes on the back of my neck" appears repeatedly in Chapter 3. First in line 10, then in line 26, and finally in line 35. The repetition of a sentence emphasizes the statement, because the reader reads this sentence several times, so that it remains in his memory. In this case, it makes it clear that Mrs. Emma is closely observing Grant's behavior. In Chapter 3, there is another repeated sentence: "I done a lot for this Family over years" which can be found on pages 22/23 in lines 6, 14, 34, and 35. This emphasizes how much Miss Emma has done for Mr. Henri's family, so it seems only fair for Mr. Henri to do her a favor.

With the sentence, "I don't want them to kill no hog. I want a man to go to that chair, on his own two feet.'' She means that Jefferson should face his execution like a real man. So she wants to express that Jefferson should not die like a poor pig, but like a man who would not show weakness despite the circumstances.

Mr. Henri:

Grant thinks it's pointless to go to Mister Henri because Jefferson's execution is coming up and he thinks there's nothing Mr. Henri can do about it.

Grant says this because Jefferson has been sentenced to death and it is only a matter of time before he is executed.

Task 2:
The defense attorney shows a completely different picture than the prosecutor. The defense attorney pleaded that the defendant had only been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Furthermore, he had taken the bottle only to clear his head due to the terrible event and he took the money because he was in shock and did not know what he was actually doing. The prosecutor describes a picture of a stupid black young adult who could have guessed the robbery and drank the bottle of alcohol to celebrate the event. Furthermore, the prosecutor is very racist in that he calls the defendant a stupid animal running through the African savannah.

Newspaper article:

Supposedly innocent man is sentenced to death:

Last Saturday came the trial of the alleged murderer of Mr. Grope. He was accused of planning a robbery with two other youths and shooting the owner of the store so that he could not identify them. The defense attorney justifies the innocence of the client with the fact that he was only at the wrong place at the wrong time and that the owner would have shot only at the other boys and not at him, because the accused is innocent. The prosecutor made racist remarks against the defendant, calling him a stupid animal running through the savannahs of Africa. Furthermore, he described the defendant as evil, that he would have drank alcohol to celebrate the robbery. The jury decided to find the man guilty, so that he now awaits the death penalty by electric chair.
