The Putnams' lone surviving child out of eight. Like Betty Parris, Ruth falls into a strange stupor after Reverend Parris catches her and the other girls dancing in the woods at night.
This is a free response question right? I would suggest maybe watching some videos about this guy because my brother had the same question (he's in k12) and the videos should really help. its ok if you didn't read the book. Elie Wiesel is a surviver of the horrible holocaust that took place wiping out millions of Jews. He's said himself in some interviews that he believes staying silent isnt the right thing to do. just watch a few vids about him and you should be about to easily answer this question. Hope I helped:)
Answer: Grant can be a "hero" only through his interaction with Jefferson.
Explanation: Grant realizes that he had falsely regarded self-worth to things such as education and that there was much more to a human than his original understanding and he recognizes this when he says “My eyes were closed before this moment, Jefferson. My eyes have been closed all my life.” (Gaines, 2002, p. 225”). Jefferson taught him that redemption belongs to everyone and that his duty to his community is worth much more than he initially thought it did.
Grant can be weak, cynical, and negative, but by just helping Jefferson and made some change, however small, is a huge thing. Grant was taught that his work and that he himself had some good attributes. Grant's commitment to his community, even if it's something that drives him crazy, is a huge role Jefferson plays in, and it shows change and commitment in his character afterwords.
