Lesson 1 (from Part I (Introduction - Chapter 6))
Objective
The objective of this lesson is for students to analyze Rabbit's relationship with her Granddaddy. In Chapter 1, Williams makes it clear that her Granddaddy had his flaws; he ran an illegal liquor house and was prone to violence, even against his own family members. But Rabbit always felt loved and safe with her Granddaddy, a feeling she would not experience again for a long time after her Granddaddy's removal to prison for shooting one of his patrons, Miss Betty.
