How Jefferson's Trial Affect His Godmother

        A Lesson Before Dying is a novel that explores complex themes.Grant emotionally detached of Jefferson's trial at the beginning of the book. Grant's role in Jefferson's mental transformation from a person beaten down by the system exhibiting anger to a man with a sense of passion and purpose. By helping Jefferson triumph over his anger Grant is also transformed. As a result, Grant regained his hope in humanity and his faith in his own ability.

      During the course of the trial, held on a Friday morning, we hear three different versions of what happened the night that the storekeeper was killed. View in this contexts, we can began to see why being referred to as a "hog" has such impact on Miss Emma and Jefferson. We can also begin to understand why Miss Emma's insistence that her godson be allowed to die like a man is such a powerful issue.

     In conclusion' we can see that Jefferson's trial does not affect only his godmother but everyone that is around him. The reason why he his behaving that way is because he has no confident and no self control.
