Quotation Assignment

Chapter 3

"Mr.Henri? I'll be up here again tomorrow, Mr.Henri. I'll be on my knees next time you see me, Mr.Henri." - page 23

2.) 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. Grant basically wants to leave behind the life that he is living now hence the theme, desire to escape. This could also relate to displacement because one could assume that Grant feels that he is not in the right place to live out his life.
5.) This quotation could in some ways symbolize the lack of freedom of a black person at this time because although he wants to leave he has an obligation to his students that he was given by white people. Although it symbolizes lack of freedom, it does not necessarily symbolize oppression.

Two Kinds

1.) Parents do pressure their children to achieve. I believe that this is so because the parents know the potential of their children and want the to be successful. 2. ) Children and their parents disagree upon things such as curfew, chores, relationships, and money. 3.) Personally, I believe that people can be anything that they want to be as long as they work hard enough to to achieve their dreams. 4.) I do not believe that all conflicts have a winner. If two people are arguing there are two sides of the argument, which could turn out any way. If the result of the argument is something that neither of the two people wanted then no one won the argument. 5.)The relationship I have with my parents differs greatly from the relationship that Chinese children have with their parents. My mother and father do expect nothing but the best from me, but they do not force me to do anything that I do not want to do.
