1. "Even if you speak the truth, they [uuges and jury] won't hear it if it has an accent or comes from thick, black lips. They certainly won't hear it if it's filled with sidewalk jargon and street slang." (Vea, 72)
2. This passage is significant because it shows that the judge and jury won't listen to people who aren't their color or don't at like they do. So Jesse and Eddy try to make Calvin understand how to act towards them, this includes no cussing and bad actions. It meaningful becuase to Jesse and Eddy it doesn't matter the race what matters is to win the trail.
3. 1. On page 55 last paragraph did Bernard hanged limp?
2. What is it important for Jesse to win in court?
sorry for question 1 i meant to put 1. On page 55 last paragraph why did Bernard hanged limp?
ReplyDelete1.Yes, he was hanging limp between the two officers.
ReplyDelete2.Jesse needed to win the court case in order to avoid losing his reputation.
his feet was dragging on linoleum
ReplyDelete1)Bernard hanged limp because he was beat by the officers i guess because he was calling them mud people and because he might of been fighting back when they were taking him out the cell. Bernard is a rascist from the Aryan nation group that called black people "mud people", and that caused many of the cellmates to throw things.
ReplyDelete2)I dont really know the answer to the question but i think it is because he said he would do it when he met Bernard and the connection he made between the war and the case made it even more personal and gave him more determination. Also maybe to prove to people that he can help a man that is rascist against any other race other than his.
