Chapter 16 Pg.122
"Corn for a hog" he said. "Corn for a hog?" "A hog, Jefferson. You ain't no hog." Th'ow something," he said. I'll never th'ow you nothing, Jefferson?" "You th'ow a bone to a dog. Slop to a hog. You ain't no hog." That's all I'm is,"he said. He turned away" I didn't ask to be born.
This quotation indicates the conflict of character vs character because Jefferson has lost all self confidence and has gotten so low that he would call himself a hog. A hog is considered the dirtiest animal and to call himself that signifies that he doesn't care anymore and whatever happens just happens.
This quotation relates to the theme imprisonment because knowing he is on death row could've manipulated him and now he sees himself as a hog, and feels there is nothing else to live for. I'm already treated like a caged animal why not accept the title as well.
Chapter 17 Pg.129
"You can talk like that; you know you go'n walk out here in a hour. I bet you wouldn't talk like that if you knowed you was go'n stay in here." "In here or out of here, Jefferson, what doesn't benefit you to hurt someone you love someone you love someone who has done so much for you?" I never asked to be born."
This quotation relates to the theme freedom as a state of mind because Jefferson has accepted the fact that he is never getting out of jail and has developed the mindset that he is eventually going to die in jail.
This quotation indicates the conflict of character vs society because Jefferson is taking his frustrations out on the ones who are trying to help him. He also envious of them because they can get up whenever they want and just move on with their lives. While he waits to spend the rest of life, up to his execution date, in prison.

Individuals need to find themselves a temporary escape to let their minds drift from reality. They need to do this to escape problems in their everyday lives. They also can go their to feel free from society. My temporary escape is the darkest places I can be in. I cut off all the lights in my room, close my blinds, and shut my door. I do this to recap my day, listen to music and give myself a self analysis.
