Chapter 18 Quotations- page 139
"You must show her some understanding, some kind of love."
"Thats for youmans," he said. "I ain't know youman."
" Then why do you speak, Jefferson?" I said. "Human beings are the only creatures on earth who can talk. Why do you talk? And where clothes? Why do you wear clothes?"
This quotation indicates conflict between Jefferson and Grant. Jefferson is still not doing well. He believes that he is not human and Grant states many reasons of why he is human. He wants to talk some sense into Jefferson so that he can act better and make Miss Emma feel better.
This quotation characterizes Jefferson as nonchalant. That fact that he is getting executed makes him care less about the world outside of jail and the people who visit him. He has a attitude that shows that he feels no need to be called a human since he will be slaughtered like a hog.
