A Lesson Before Dying Summary

I am reading the book A Lesson Before Dying and i'm on chapter 5. This book is about this kid named Jefferson who is going to go to jail for a crime he did not commit. The joury sentenced Jefferson to death by electricution. His Aunt and his other Aunt Emma want Grant, their nephew, to go talk to Jefferson to make him a man. They want Grant to talk to Jefferson because in court all anybody was saying to Jefferson was that he was not a man. That made his Aunts very sad and that is why they want Grant to go talk to him. Even though Grant dosent want to talk to Jefferson his Aunts are making him go talk Henri Pichot. They are going to talk to Henri because his brother is the sheriff. The only reason they are going to talk to him is one his aunts worked for Henri for along time and thought he would help him and two like i said before his brother is the sheriff. When they got home he went to Beyonne to go to the Rainbow club with vivian to talk about moving to Baton Rouge. She told him she couldn't right now but when her divorce was final they would. That is as far as I got in A lesson Before Dying.
