The unknown is something that is unexpected that could lead you into excitement and disappointment experience like planning something with your friends. Planning the weekend with your friends can be excited but yet difficult to cope with because everything doesn't go as planned as you want them to go. You and your friends could be planning on going to the movies for the weekend which is exciting because you get to spend time with your friends but then they call and tell you that they aren't able to make it which is disappointing because they told you last minute and your not able to spend quality time with your friends. That excitement and disappointment experience is difficult to cope with because of you not spending time with your friends, it could have been you not seeing them for years or it could have been from you not wanting to stay home for the weekend. The unknown leads to desiring experience like applying for a job. Applying for a job is a hard task because it takes time and it would have you worrying if you got the job or not. Getting the job that want is thrilling until they tell you that you didn't get the job which is terrifying because you thought that you was qualified for the job. That desiring experience is difficult to cope with because it was a job that you really was happy about and you was hoping that you could get the job, but they tell you that you aren't qualified for the job which is shocking to you. The unknown leads to countless things because anything could happen, the unknown has allowed numerous feelings towards us humans which is very valuable.

Argumentative Paragraph
Meal time is important because it gives you the opportunity to spend time with your family. Meal time can get you closer to your family, A family can sit down and a parent could asked them how their day was and they could tell them about everything that happened on that day. It could have been a good day or a bad day, talking to your family during meal time can help you because they can give you good advice and help you out with your problems. My mom would always cheer me up when ever I had a bad day and during our meal time she would give me good advice that would help me out with everything and when I had a good day, I would tell my family every little detail that happened on that day. During meal time, people tend to get on their technology which distracts them from not having quality time with their family. It’s disrespectful to get on your cell phone while eating with your family because it would make them feel as if you don’t want to spend time with them and have a descent meal with them. When I go to my daddy house, my step mom would tell us to leave out technology in our rooms because she knows that it would distract us from having family time. Having meal time with your family is the best thing that could happen to anyone, you should always cherish having meal time with your family because meal time is the best way to communicate with your family and to get closer with your family.

Vivian didn't understand what he was saying so he had to explain how black men has failed to take care of their women. Grant continued, he said that the people that even try to succeed, it would break them because of what happened to the people that also tried to do what was best for their family. He said that Miss Emma and Tante Lou continues to mess with him about helping Jefferson because they know that he is different from the rest of the men. He said that they don't understand how much this is bringing him down because they always force him to do something that he doesn't want to do. Vivian asked him how can they break this situation, Grant says that it is up to Jefferson if he wants to change or not.

A Lesson Before Dying
Day 18 Chapter 20
Chapter 20
All the kids were outside playing and this man came in as Grant was working on his papers, the man didn't say much but Grant knew what he was trying to say, they set the date for Jefferson's execution. Grant had to go up to Pichot's house to talk to him and the sheriff, when he made it there he seen Reverend Ambrose's car. When Inez opened the door for him, she asked if he wanted coffee and he said no, Reverend Ambrose asked him how was everything going, Grant said everything was good. Inez came back and told Grant that the sheriff wold be coming within fifteen to twenty minutes, which had Grant questioning because they did him like this last time. The sheriff came fifteen minutes later, Pichot and the sheriff wanted them to come to the fronts , which was strange because Grant or Reverend Ambrose never went anywhere besides the kitchen, Grant wanted Reverend Ambrose to go first but he precede that Grant should go first. They schedule that execution to April the eighth and they git Miss Emma a doctor because they know that she haven't been feeling well about the execution and she would feel even worst when she finds out that its has to be before or after Easter. Grant couldn't get the execution date out of his mind, he just couldn't get how they could just come up with a date and time for somebody to die. When they left, Reverend Ambrose asked if he drive, Grant said no and that he walked, he said that he need a time fir himself because he just cant go home right away and tell Miss Emma about the execution so he just walked a couple of miles. Grant wished that it was nobody with him but Vivian, and that they could walk with each other forever.

A Lesson Before Dying
Day 17 Chapter 19
Chapter 19
The Christmas program had begun and everybody was coming early because of the storm. Grant was getting the children together to perform for the Christmas program, they had sheets as curtains, three were white and one was light grey, which was embarrassing because it cam from Miss Rita always bring a grey sheet. As the kids were getting ready, Grant looked to see who was here, he seen Moss Rita and her grand son Bok, who took third of the bench. They raised money for Jefferson so that he could get clothes. Reverend Ambrose gave an introductory prayer. As the children sing the Christmas songs, it begin to touch everyone emotions, it made Grant depressed because hey did the same routine over and over again, which had him thinking if his town would do something new besides doing the same thing. A child then gave Grant some food, looking at the gifts that was given to Jefferson.
