Day 6 Reflection

The relationship that Grant had with his teacher was strange. Grant was very eager to learn from his mulatto teacher even after the teacher admitted to hating him. The teacher even admitted to feeling superior to all negroes, yet he would allow Grant to frequently visit him. Grant would disregard the teacher's feelings toward him and the world just to learn something he felt that school could not teach. He wanted to learn a valuable life lesson, so he look toward the teacher for answers. However, the teacher would only call Grant a fool for not taking the ''flight'' when he had the chance to. This stirred up confusion. Also, this later explains why Grant felt a sense of urgency to move somewhere else because he finally comprehended what the teacher meant be ''flight''.
