A Lesson Before Dying Reflection Day 9 chapters 11 and 12

-
Chapter 11: Grant finally gets one on one time with Jefferson and it didn't go to well. As usual, Jefferson wasn't speaking just sitting and staring. When Jefferson finally spoke to Grant, he asked had he brought any corn with him. Jefferson was being sarcastic when he asked did Grant bring him any corn because he later referred to himself as a hog. I really baffles me that Jefferson didn't have much to say to Grant, now that he was visiting him alone without Miss Emma. Grant desperately tries to find a lie to tell Miss Emma so she wouldn't be more upset than she already is.

Chapter 12: While trying to get his mind off the lie he's going to tell Miss Emma, Grant attempts to clear his mind by taking a trip to the Rainbow Bar. Grant comes across a group of men talking about Jackie Robinson. While listening to them, Grant still can't seem to get Jefferson's execution off of his mind.
