A short summary of the book A Lesson Before Dying:
A lesson in a community's humanity.
My favorite Ernest J. Gaines quote from the book:
"And that's all we are, Jefferson, all of us on this earth, a piece of drifting wood, until we - each one of us, individually - decide to become something else."
Questions I pondered while reading A Lesson Before Dying:
How do we overcome stereotypes?
How do you decide who you want to be?
My thoughts about A Lesson Before Dying:
Justice isn't always blind.
It is hard to change perceptions.
People act as they are treated.
