When it comes to writing I wouldn't consider myself abysmal, but I'm certainly not the best. My strength in writing is holding a conversation with the reader, so narrative is really my style. I'm great at telling stories and keeping the reader intrigued. My weakness would most likely be determining which person to use when writing the paper (first person/third person). Since I'm good at holding a conversation with the reader, that is usually what I resort to. Even in situations where the paper should be expository. My action plan for this is to read more and try to identify the way in which the books are written.

This quote characterizes Miss Emma, is shows Miss Emma's dedication to the well-being of Jefferson and her determination to his education before he is killed. 3.) This quotation indicates the conflict that Miss Emma is having with Mr.Henri about talking to the sheriff on her behalf and the conflict that she is having with coming to terms with Jefferson dying as "a hog." Chapter 4 "I need to go someplace where I can feel I'm living." - page 29  1.) This quotation relates to the desire to escape and displacement.

My aunt's friend, Miss Emma, has a nephew named Jefferson. Jefferson has recently been caught up in a messy web. He is being tried for murder. Although Jefferson did not commit the murder, he was present when it occurred. He was not awarded a fair trial. Jefferson is of a darker hue and the man murdered was caucasian, due to discrimination in the area which we live, Jefferson was convicted of the crime, and sentenced to death by execution.
