Lesson Before Dying
Storyboard Text
- I got the heavier end...I don't want to pull it on that wagon again.
- Show me those grits you had this morning, I got my end up.
- Okay fine, I will not punish you for the window, but I will punish you for your grammar. It is "you were" not "you was".
- The first one to look out that window can spend an hour inside, this is class.
- Mr. Wiggins you was looking out that window too I seen you out of the corner of your eye, just like me.
- Happy to be at your service. There is some wood out there that the older boys can chop up. Call before you run out, there will be another load coming.
- Thank you Mr. Louis. I appreciate it and so do the children. The boys will start chopping as soon as break starts.
- A week after the superintendent visited the school, two older men delivered the first load of wood for the winter.
- Alright class, you boys have to go chop up the wood, so you will be able to be let out early. I want you all back here by twelve thirty sharp.
- Why do we have to be inside studying while the older boys get to be outside having fun? That's not fair.
- After the wood was delivered students became distracted and would be punished for looking outside.
- Will this vicious circle ever end? Can I do anything to stop this? Am I even doing anything?
- Mr. Louis knocked on the classroom door to inform Grant about the pile of wood and axes.
- There is no other chance, but to run. Run away from this town before it is too late. There is no freedom here.
- Grant you need to take what I have taught you and go. You will not be like the others.
- The older boys of the classroom were let out early to chop the wood while Grant stood by the fence.
- Grant thought to himself about if he was teaching the children enough or if they would turn out like their ancestors.
- These boys are fifty years younger and are doing the same exact thing as their ancestors. I am not doing my job as a teacher.
- Grant had a flashback of his professor warning him to run away before it was too late.
