Chapter 3:
1.) Henry Pichot's insistence that Jefferson "did it" helps to support his opinion on how Grant should not be able to visit Jefferson. He believes that because Jefferson "did it" he should have to suffer his consequences and die as what he was labeled "a hog."
2.) By saying that "She was looking at me but not seeing me, and not meaning what she was saying, either." Grant nearly meant that Miss Emma knew that he didn't want to go but she was not very accepting of the fact. She used "He doesn't have to go." as a way to make Grant feel bad.
3.) The back door of Henri Pichot's plantation house symbolizes Grant going away to college and leaving behind the life that his aunt and Miss Emma had to live as servants. Having to enter the plantation house through the back door annoys Grant because when he left for college he was told to never enter through the back door again.
4.) Miss Emma uses her credibility and assistance with the Pichot family as leverage to convince Henri to speak to the sheriff on her behalf.
Chapter 4:
1.) The narrator's mention of the slaughterhouse for hogs expands the public defender's summation in Jefferson's trial by basically adding to the thought that the hogs are meant to be slaughtered and saying that Jefferson was meant to be killed, being that he was compared to a hog.
2.) Grant wants to leave because he feels like he is not living his life to the fullest, he feels trapped in a sense. The only reason that he has not left is because he does not want to leave without Vivian.
