The injustice of the book A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J.Gaines Why not read a book that shows you the reader that has morals and that showers you a image how unfair it was to be an african american back in 1940s.
The story takes place in the 1940s and it's about when a man is convicted for a murder of three white man and the white man sends him to jail to put to death. Tante Lou and Miss Emma send Grant to teach him how to be a man; however, he refuses to be called by his name and eat like a sane human being.

Grant is a teacher who is very strict with his students and he

    Grant says the prosecution argued that Jefferson had gone to the store intending to rob and kill Alcee Gropé. The prosecution claimed that Jefferson stuffed the money into his pockets and celebrated the murder by drinking some of Alcee’s liquor. Grant says that Jefferson’s attorney defended Jefferson by insisting that he is a boy and a fool, and therefore incapable of planning the robbery and murder. The attorney said he would rather put a hog in the electric chair than such a mindless individual. The white jury members deliberated for just a few hours before finding Jefferson guilty of robbery and murder in the first degree. A few days later, the judge sentenced Jefferson to death by electrocution.…

    In reading the book A Lesson Before Dying, I believe that many lives were changed by Jefferson. The days before his persecution impacted many lives in the community. From the children Grant taught, his family and friends to the jailor that worked at the courthouse. Jefferson was a poor African-American young man who was uneducated, had a low self-esteem, and he worked on the plantation since he was a child. One day he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and was found guilty for the actions of his friends that had attempted to rob a store. Both of his friends were killed in this robbery as well as the store owner. During the court hearing, his own lawyer compared him to being no better than a hog. This statement was the eye-opening statement…

    In A Lesson Before Dying, by Ernest Gaines, the narrator, Grant, is an African-American man living in the Jim Crow era and subsequently faces discrimination and oppression all too often. One example discrimination is when Grant goes to buy a radio from a white-owned shop. The white lady tries to give Grant an old box, even though he is paying full price for the radio. This is an example of discrimination because the saleswomen is treating Grant unfairly because he is different race; however this is a rather benign example of the discrimination Grant faces. A more poignant example of discrimination, oppression, in Grant’s world is the trial of Jefferson, a young African-American man. Jefferson is tried and convicted for murdering white man (under…

    Suddenly, it seems as if Jefferson has seen the light. He understands what Grant has been trying to teach him. He understands the need to be selfless, and he understands that he is a human. “Yes, I’m youman, Mr. Wiggins. But nobody didn’t know that ‘fore now. Cuss for nothing. Beat for nothing. Work for nothing. Grinned to get by. Everybody thought that’s how it was s’pose to be.” (224) Jefferson is no longer acting like a hog, and he is no longer silently moping about. By now, Jefferson has grown and matured into a man, and not the hog that everyone thinks he is. The relationship between Grant and Jefferson has also changed dramatically by the final third of the novel. The two now get along and care for one another, as can be seen this entry from Jefferson’s diary, “sometime mr wigin i just feel like telling you i like you but i dont kno how to say this cause i aint never said it to nobody before an nobody aint never say it to me.” (228) From this touching quote, it is clearly seen that Jefferson cares about Grant, a significant change from his behavior in previous areas of the book. In this final third of the book, Jefferson has grown immensely from the person he once was. Now he is no longer a hog. Now he is ready to face his death on the electric chair not like a hog, but like a…

    When faced with internal or external conflicts it is not uncommon to lose your dignity. The purpose of a history book is so that we can learn from others lessons. Since the dawn of time civilization has planted seeds in the minds of men to be a man of dignity but to also obsess over the success of wealth as well as being highly respected by others. Gaines’ A Lesson Before Dying shows us the attributes that Jefferson and Grant take on while figuring out how to become a man. Gaines gives us prime examples of why education is so important and how deprivation of knowledge can cause a loss of…

    The hog comment really got to Jefferson and his behavior changed a lot at the jail. Jefferson started to act like an actual hog to prove to grant that he was in fact a hog and what the attorney said was actually true. In the jail during their first visit Jefferson is distant, when asked if he wanted food by Miss Emma he declines and says that nothing matters anymore. Being there in jail under his circumstances he wanted to give up and he even considered eating unimportant. The next few trips were as uneventful as the first but on the fourth trip Miss Emma faked being sick so Grant would go alone from then on. When Grant got there he asked Jefferson if he wanted any of the food Grant brought he answered but not in a way anyone would expect. He asked Grant is he brought any corn, Grant said no and then asked why. Then Jefferson replied it was what hogs eat and got on all fours and ate from the bag of food as a hog would. Jefferson was convinced he meant no more than a hog to anyone. The racism in the book affected Jefferson’s head dramatically.…

    I will be talking about the racism that people had to face in these stories “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr. and “The Ballot or the Bullet” by Malcolm X. In the stories racism plays a big part. In one of the stories they talk about black people having the right to vote. Another one was about how would like to just white people. One of them had to do with telling black people how black people felt in the times. Racism has a part in all these books. In this time it is hard to believe that it was worse than today. Hopefully, I can explain how they felt and how the time affected them.…

    In this untitled photograph, the author portrays that you're more likely to be a victim of police brutality because of the color of your skin. Joyner uses juxtaposition, and angle of the picture to convey that police can do anything they please and they are able to get away with it. Also, to convey that America is aware that most of the people who are being brutalized are black people. The author uses juxtaposition by placing the protesting man that is holding up the sign “ Guilty of only being black.” with him chained to a ‘Police Brutality’. This shows that even if there was no crime that took place they’d already be guilty because of having a certain skin color. This picture looks as though it took…

    A Lesson Before Dying

    In A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest Gaines, Mr. Grant Wiggins' life crises were the center of the story. Although he was supposed to make Jefferson into a man, he himself became more of one as a result. Not to say that Jefferson was not in any way transformed from the "hog" he was into an actual man, but it could be believed this story was really written about Mr. Wiggins. Mr. Wiggins improved as a person greatly throughout the novel, and that helped his relationships with other people for the most part. But as a reader it cannot be forgotten about how Grant’s attitude was in the beginning to actually see the transformation in him. Grant’s bitterness was not one to look up to in the beginning of the novel because of his former teacher’s bitterness growing up. Though this was a negative in Grant’s personality he managed to have connections with people and grow through them. For example how he taught Jefferson meaning to life and to become a man. Through this Jefferson felt he could trust showing what impact each character had on each other. In the novel each character had their own characteristics and personality. There was something special about each character in the book. Each of them had their strong points and weak points for example Grant was always running away from his problems. This showed that even though Grant did become a man from teaching Jefferson in the end; for most of the novel Grant’s bitterness impacted his life strongly that he did not cope with his adversities well.…

    If forces in our life controlled us we'd probably be more robots than human. The fact is, we control the direction of our lives and we chose the direction in which we want it to go. Forces out of our control come our way to reveal our character, and shape us into who we will be. In other words we have the will of choice. Choices we make often have consequences we are well aware of whether good or bad.…
