Reflection Homework
Putting chapter 29 in Jefferson's point of view gave readers an insight on Jefferson's feelings. Telling Jefferson's point of view made the book personal and gave readers an emotional feeling. Since Jefferson did not speak to much throughout the book, putting his personal thoughts in the book finally help me understand what kind of person Jefferson really was. Jefferson thoughts help my come to the conclusion that he is not a hog, but in fact a human with emotions. Describing in depth how Jefferson's execution day went sent my emotions in a spiral. I feel as though Grant should have been there for Jefferson's execution because Jefferson trusted Grant the most. The Sheriff was more concerned about Jefferson writing good things about him in his diary than Jefferson's well being. The quietness of the plantation showed the love everyone has for Jefferson. In my opinion, Jefferson did die as a man and Grant helped Jefferson grow as a person.
