Quote Assignment

Throughout the novel we encounter many significant quotes and or ideas. It is these thoughts that make the novel meaningful.

You are to select 20 quotes from the novel that you find to be meaningful or significant. Write down the page number of the quote and the complete quote. Explain why you selected the quote and its impact on the story for you.

Here is an example of how you should complete each quote:

"He's dead now. And I can't raise the dead." Page 14

This quote is significant because Grant is basically using this as his argument for not wanting to visit Jefferson in jail. Jefferson is like a dead man walking because he has been given the death penalty and no one can stop that from happening. I also found it meaningful because Grant feels he is not a miracle worker and if Miss Emma couldn't teach Jefferson how to be a man after 21 years how is he going to do so in just a few months.
