Chapter 5 & 6 Answers

Chapter 5

1) The church is the meeting place for Grants' class.

2) Grant was originally supposed to teach for six months out of the year. Due to the children having to work in the field school was only five and a half months.

3) Grant goes into so much detail about the process by which Jefferson will be killed because he is trying to prove a point. He is trying to tell them them that someone just like them will be killed for making little simple mistakes like the boy who was playing with the lady bug.

4) Mr. Farrell brought a message to Grant from Henri Pichot which was he wanted to meet with Grant by five that evening.


Qoutation:

" You figure things out with your brains, not with your fingers" pg. 36 
     One thing i about this qoute was Grant was really upset at the moment. He did not mean any harm but he wanted the boy to think and use his mind of what was already taught to get the answer. Grant felt that the boy should have known the simple multiplication problem. 

"I'd have to buy it." "The school board doesn't give it away. They already gave me what they said was enough for the year. They're not giving us any more. Do you understand what I'm saying to you?" pg 36 
 This qoute also was stated out of anger from Grant. He felt the children was just waisting the chalk as if they had plenty. It also show that the school board would not supply Grant school with enough supplies just a few to get bye though the time. I can indicate that the school board did not think that the children would not learn subject but would learn more about  how to chop up wood and slave activities  and that they where poor during that time period. 



Chapter 6 

1) Grant has gone to Mr Pichot's house to meet with him at five.

2) He waited in the kitchen talking to the maid Inez.

3) Etna makes Grant reach to shake her hand because she had already had her hand out.

4) skipped 

5) Grant was acting "too smart" for the white man. He was well educated and Intelligent therefore the white man didn't expect it and did not like what Grant was saying. 

Qoutation:

" To show intelligence would be an insult to them. To show lack of intelligence would be a greater insult to me" pg.47

Grant had already knew that he was very intelligent and that the white man did not like or expect how intelligent he was. He did not dumb himself for the white man because that would not be his true self and he did not let anyone degrade his intelligence.
