Chapter 3 Questions:
1. Henry Pichot's insistence that Jefferson did it redirected the plot narrative by changing the tone. Insisting in such a way, caused Henri's true opinion of the family to surface. He thought that African Americans were beneath him.
2. By Miss Emma saying to Grant that he doesn't have to go visit Jefferson in prison she really wants him to be there but she doesn't tell him that directly. It is as if she is in a trance. It also seems she is in a trance due to the following quote "She was looking at me but not seeing me, and not meaning what she was saying,either." Miss Emma is looking but she's in a different place within her mind.
3. The back door of Henri Pichot's plantation symbolizes the past of Grant and his aunt's life. As servants, there was no other way to enter the plantation besides the back door. Grant thought they would never enter through those back doors again but there they were awaiting for a favor.
4. Miss Emma kind of makes Mr.Pichot feel sorry for her by referring to everything she's done for his family and she deserved that much at the least.
Chapter 4 Questions:
1. It echoes the fact that Jefferson should be killed or slaughtered like a hog would in a slaughterhouse. They referred to Jefferson as a hog anyway.
2. Grant feels as if he is not living his life the way he should be able to nor to its full ability. He wants to go some place where he can feel like he's living and have choices instead of being stuck in a town where he can't experience new things and evolve. The only thing that's keeping him in town is Vivian.
Quotation: "I need to go someplace where I can feel I'm living," Ch.4 pg.29

Chapter 4-#2 This quote refers to Grant due to him not living his life the way he wants to and not being able to do new things.
