It makes me mad how, after Janet lets Dr. Miller try to save Dodie, Mrs. Carteret has the nerve to say that Janet did not mean any of the things she said about her. #tmot37

The comparison of the blacks to dogs just keeps popping up again and again which really helps Chesnutt make his point about how blacks were treated as less than human #tmot32

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

This quote portrays mob mentality bc white ppl who were once nice to Watson were now ready to kill him due to everyone around them getting ready to take down the blacks against their will. Their conduct towards Watson completely changes #tmot32

assiduity(n):constant or close attention to what one is doing
S:industriousness
The white people, on the other hand, procured both arms and ammunition in large quantities, and the Wellington Grays drilled with great assiduity at their armory. (161)

This quote shows how deep down, Carteret realizes this movement he is organizing is completely selfish & unjust. It's obvious he &his white friends just want more power, but they(excluding McBane)don't like to phrase their motives like that bc it exposes their true nature #tmot29

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

Infallible(and):incapable of making mistakes or being wrong.
S:unerring
A:imperfect
Mrs. Carteret was a good woman, according to her lights, with a cultivated conscience, to which she had always looked as her mentor and infallible guide. (173) #tmot31

In the beginning of the book, Mammy Jane finds a mole behind Dodie's ear which usually means the child will die by judicial strangulation. This is foreshadowing the end of the book where Dodie cannot breathe &help is hard to find all bc of the riot his father helped cause #tmot36

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

@katy_ba20 This quote proves your point hat he was in denial bc he wanted to "wash his hands" of responsibility, but then when the Millers blamed him for the death of their child, he could not deny it #tmot35 #tmot36

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

This quote shows how blacks, despite not being enslaved anymore, still did not feel free or treated like human beings. Josh compares Blake to being viewed as dogs and which are animals and not people #tmot33

@georgelitheart0 *lynch

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

@aminah_hhs Yeah after reading a bit, I was surprised, considering all the white supremacy in the book, that Mr. Delamere did not quickly dismiss the fact that it could have been his grandson. Mr. Delamere is a lot more just than most of the other white characters in the book #tmot26 #tmot27

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

@aminah_hhs That is how blacks were viewed. Additionally, when Sandy was discharged, he was congratulated for being released by the same people who would have lynched him, as shown in this quote. They were being so hypocritical! #tmot27

Does anyone have an interpretation of this little poem at the end of ch 28? I feel like it means that there are so many fools in the world that if u can't find one, then you are the fool, but any other thoughts? Also what do u think its significance is to the plot? #tmot28

[Gabriella Dudajek @dudajekg]

@yash_englishII I got so angry bc it was so unfair to Mr. Delamere bc he was trusting Belmont with it and the will was finally going to get back at tom by not mentioning him at all. Tom was about to get what he deserved, and I got excited for like half a page ugh #tmot26
