Chapter 16-17 Quotation

" That's all I'm is, " he said. He turned away from her. "I didn't ask to be born."

This quote indicates both and internal conflict as well as an external conflict. The internal conflict is with Jefferson and his thought about the situation he is in. One can infer that Jefferson is upset because of where is life is heading. He feel as if he would not have any of these problems if he was never born. The conflict between Jefferson and his aunt is basically the fact that Jefferson is purposely saying things that he knows will upset her.

The quote characterizes Jefferson based on his personality. The fact that he is intentionally hurting his aunt and showing no remorse makes him seem uncaring.

"We're all going to die, Jefferson."
" Tomorrow, Mr. Teacher,that's when you go'n die? Next week?"

This quotation relates to the theme Heroes and also sadness. Grant is trying to be a hero and make Jefferson feel about being imprisoned but Jefferson isn't listening to him because he is overwhelmed with sadness.
