Ernest J. Gaines, the author of A Lesson Before Dying, implies in his argument that black men are not pigs incapable of reason, but are like every other white man; a human being. In the misunderstanding of a liquor store shootout an innocent bystander, Jefferson, is accused of murdering two white men. In the end he is becoming fond of a young gentlemen who helps him become a man instead of dying llike a locked up beast. This book interested me so much because it was a book that showed the steady progress of a man who would have his life taken when he didn't deserve it.
