Good act

I don't know exactly what people do on the Friday before Easter but I assume they are good deeds.
If I were to do a good deed it would be help donate to anything or anyone who is need. I would donate to medical project,civil projects and others such as  shelters, nursing home and orphanages. But I don't have the money to make a difference but if did I would.

A lesson before dying - ch 8 & 9 quotes

Chapter 8
" I am superior to anyone blacker than me"
This quote from grants teacher connects to issues by showing the reader that the teacher is has problems such as self hate and hate against other just because the color of their skin and the blood of their tree. He gas conversations with grant and does nothing but put him down, even after growing old. He admitted his hatred and hate to grant but grant seemed to not care because it was as he already knew.
    This characterized the Teacher because it shows what he thinks of the people he has been around and how he truly feels. He tells grant to leave but is aggravated of grants decision to stay. 2 months before he passes away he and grant have a small conversation. Grant tells him that he has become a teacher as well, a little less harsh he told grant of his disappointment and after being asked for advice he tells him to do his best and that it won't matter. It shows that he was miserable with his life and telling grant he might be as well.

Chapter 9

"You the one - go'n jack that switch?"
This can characterize Jefferson because it show that he is afraid and looking back in regret. Jefferson is only waiting for the day to come and after seeing grant he asked if he would be the one to end him.
This also will bring conflict because it shows Jefferson did not want to be near him and neither does grant. But they both have get along and speak to each other so he can get his lesson before dying
