When Grant went to visit Jefferson, he seen that the notebook was on the floor by the radio that he bought him, he asked if he could open it and he said that it was okay. Jefferson filled up the three quarters of the notebook, he wrote about having dreams about dying and about the difference between a men and a hog. Grant asked Jefferson abut the visit between him and Reverend Ambrose, he said that he just told him to pray, but he doesn't because he doesn't believe in that stuff and that he doesn't know is heaven is real. Jefferson asked Grant if h believed in heaven, Grant told him that he doesn't and the reason is because that he is lost, Grant then tells Jefferson that he needs to believe in something for the sake of Miss Emma. Reverend Ambrose told Jefferson that he doesn't have any possessions, which confused him because he gave a few away, Grant told him even if you don't have any possessions, he still has love to give. Jefferson asked Grant if he believed in God and he said yes, Jefferson says that he want to die word less just like Christ did. Jefferson moved in his life by grinning and working every day. When Grant lowered his head, Jefferson insist him to look at him and he did, Jefferson stood tall and not as limping as he usually do.
