Hale - "Can't I see John?"
Mrs. Wright - "No."
Hale - "Ain't he home?"
Mrs. Wright - "Yes, he's home."
Hale - "Than why can't I see him?"
Mrs. Wright - "Cause he's dead."
I chose this quote because it wasn't so much the words that jumped out at me but the response of Mrs. Wright. She wasn't hysterical, crying and being obnoxious, she just sat there. This section is important in the story because majority of the poem is about John Wright and the County Attorney questioning people about the Wright family. I just couldn't imagine walking up the stairs of my home and finding a family member hanging. The thought of it kills me.
