"Fire and Cloud," Part 10 Summary

Jimmy enters the room and sees something is wrong with Taylor. Taylor feels shame in front of his son, but he admits he was whipped. Jimmy wants to get his friends and fight; he does not want to wait anymore. Taylor cannot think of the right words to tell his son. Jimmy also says that the deacons have voted Taylor out of the church, thinking he ran away. Taylor wonders out loud if God has left him. Jimmy still wants to fight and does not hear anything from his father that could change his mind. Taylor realizes, speaking it at the same time to Jimmy, that the only way to fight is with the people, not alone, and that his whipping is the same as what has been happening to all of them.
