Question

Lemon brown tells Greg, "If you know your pappy did something, you know you can do something too." What does Lemon Brown mean by this? Why is this significant to Greg?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation: The statement "If you know your pappy did something, you know you can do something too." was made in a bid to show Greg that through hard work, anything in life can be accomplished. This is very significant to Greg because his father was already an accomplished postal worker. And by the statement, Lemon Brown means that his son Jesse was very proud that his father was a famous Blues player, and in relation to this also that he could do anything also that he set his mind to. That would be a way of sharing his successes with his son.
