Read Ti-Jean and His Brothers by Derek Walcott
What is Mi-Jean's strategy for dealing with the Planter/Devil's wiles?
Answer:
Mi-Jean, the second-oldest brother, plans to use his intellectual abilities, which he considers better than all others, to outsmart the Devil. He plans to smile and refuse to speak while working for the planter to avoid any confrontation.
Explanation:
The Devil had promised great wealth and property to the brother who can make him angry. However, if one of the boys gets angry instead, the Devil wins and can eat him.
While Mi-Jean is working, the Planter/Devil insults his intelligence, making the boy angry and therefore the Devil eats him.
