Very few lived comfortable lives. Such as royalty. The middle ages were predominantly ruled by men, and the women were expected to simply follow their lead.

Dear Advice Column, My name is Grant and I am currently dealing with a dilemma. I am a school teacher, who has been assigned the task of transforming a man named Jefferson from a hog into a man before his execution. Jefferson is being executed for a murder he did not commit. And while on trial Jefferson was referred to as a "hog" I am doing this as a favor to his aunt Emma who had become stressed from this whole ordeal. My situation is, I am not sure how to properly handle the issue with Jefferson.  During my few visits with him he has been vague and unresponsive to my attempts to connect with him. For example when ever we bring him food he refuses to eat it. And him being called a hog seems to have had a major impact on him. For example whenever I talk to him he tells me it's pointless and it's even to the point where he even got on the ground and ate like an hog. I am not sure how to respond to him. What steps should I take to solve my problems.

" I don't want them to kill no hog u p there; I want a man to go to that chair, on his own two feet". Page 12 Chapter 2 1) This quote does relate to a theme, the theme it relates to is, although he is about to die they want him to die with his education and dignity. 2) The conflict that this quote symbolizes is how they belittled and derogated Jefferson during the trial by comparing to a barbaric animal as such as hog.
