Why does everthing has to be done with money? Can't it just be a favor? Many people get paid to do something, but in this case Grant is being force to educate Jefferson. Will this problem effect the person invovled in it... As a graduted college student, Grant became a teacher. Miss Emma and Tante Lou, asked nicely if he could go and teach Jefferson how to become a men, and not a hog. Grant disobeyed them and said,"NO." But Tante Lou, his aunt threatened him by telling him that if he doesn't go teach Jefferson, he would not have a bed to sleep in. After visiting Mr. Henri Pichot, he had no choice but just to teach Jefferson. Dropping Miss Emma off at her house, Tante Lou decides to stay there for awhile. Grant goes to Bayonne and heads to the Rainbow Club. He is anxious to see his girlfried, so he calls her to her job, and tells her to go and met him there. Vivian could see Grant's anger and asks him that what was wrong with him. He immediately answers her that he wants to go out of the state, and get married with her.

He calls up a student that does not now how to write a simple sentence, and it makes him het irritateded and a little boy playing with a bug. Grant gets really mad and tells the kid to step out-side. Grant gets out his wooden ruler, and spanks the little boy. He calls up another student, ans tells her to write a simple sentence. Her writing was slanted, so Grant makes straight long lines on the chock-board for her to write on. He blames her for wasting a lot of chock, because he has to buy it. Grant tells them a true live story, thats Jefferson. A girl starts crying, ans tell Grant that that is her cousin. Grant takes his anger out with his students.
