Throughout the "Lesson Before Dying Jefferson seemed unteachable. He did not communicate and isolated himself inside himself. The thought of Grant turning Jefferson into a man seemed impossible. But the tables turned and something special happened. It was unexpected and shocking, finally Jefferson is opening up and communicating with Grant and the family. Grant and Jefferson's friendship took off despite the reality that Jefferson is going to die soon.When Jefferson would talk to Grant it showed his true identity and what goes on in his head. Publishing Jefferson's diary towards the end gave readers a personal insight of Jefferson. It showed readers how Jefferson felt being locked in a cell. The diary also gave readers a personal connection with Jefferson.
As it gets closer Jefferson's date emotions came upon . Readers now have build a personal relation with Jefferson and have watch Jefferson grow and prosper through tribes and tribulations knowing the "day" would come. During the execution time stopped and despite the color of their skin everybody there felt sympathy for Jefferson. Whites and Blacks, not just blacks, not just whites, everybody felt a feel of emotion toward Jefferson. I realize that Jefferson may have been looked at as a criminal, a hog, a dead man but in the end he was not a criminal nor a hog. Jefferson was man. It takes courage and heart to accept faith and be able to go to accept death. Jefferson's only concern was making his Miss Emma proud. Grant was not a the trail the day he was sentenced, and he was not there the day Jefferson took his last steps in manhood, but without Grant, Jefferson probably would have never became a man.
In conclusion Jefferson made it through the journey of becoming a man and he died a man, and nobody can take that from him.
