1.How does Henri Pichots insistence that Jefferson "did it" redirect the plot narrative? Henri says simply that he recognized him in the wrong way. He also treats him like a slave. Later on at the end of the chapter Henri refuses anyone to see Jefferson.
Grant is implying that Miss.Emma wamt him to go and have a talk with Henri. Grant doesnt won't to have a talk with him but Miss.Emma wants Grant to talk to Henri so he can help him.
3.What does the back door of Henri Pinchot's plantation house symbolized to Grant and his aunt? Why does having to enter the plantations house though the back door rankle Grant?
The back door of Henri Pichot's plantation house symbolize that Grant would not have to come through that food without his aunt after him leaving to go to the university.
4. How does Miss Emma prevail on Henri Pichot to speak to the sheriff on her behalf?
She basically tells the sheriff she wants him to go out as a man not as a boy also to let Henri teach him how to be a man and show everyone that he is not a hog.
"But she was speaking to an empty space...Miss Emma continued to stare up the hall for a moment, then she and my aunt turned away, and I held the door open for them to go outside. The sun had gone down,and it was getting colder."- Chapter 3, Page 23
This quotation is introducing another conflict for the characters in this story, so far in the book we know that Jefferson was pronouced guilty for a crime he did not do. In the situation this quote is in, Miss Emma had semi-convinced Henri to talk to the sheriff, but as time went on he grew less patient and dismissed her silently. This probably gave her the idea that he would not speak to the sheriff and would simply let Jefferson die because of his opinion.
