Brief Summary Of The Book 'On Agate Hill'
On Agate Hill
Molly Petree did not kill Jacky Jarvis. Many people swore that she did. Jacky was shot, but not by Molly. I believe that Jacky’s Brother John Howard Wiletts aka BJ killed Jacky. Molly loved Jacky too much to ever hurt him unless he asked her to. Molly was a beautiful, educated, and talented young woman. Molly fell in love with Jacky because to her he was her demon lover. Jacky was a simple country boy. He played in a gospel group. The group was called The Rag Mountain Ramblers on Saturday and the Angel Band on Sunday. Jacky loved Molly with all of his heart. John aka BJ was Jacky’s Cousin. They couldn’t have been any closer, they was born only a few days apart. BJ likes to protect the people up on Bobcat. He likes to make nightly rounds to check on everything. BJ was also in love with Molly Petree. Molly didn’t know that BJ was in love with her. She was in love with Jacky. All of these reasons and many more support that BJ killed his own brother Jacky Jarvis. …show more content…
BJ said that him and Jacky were more than cousins, “he was like my other half.” BJ always respected Jacky and looked up to him. When BJ saw Molly, he was amazed by her. Molly was not from Bobcat, she was a educated school teacher. Molly was truly a good person. She didn’t care about the way BJ looked. She liked him for what was inside of him. BJ thought the world of Molly. Jacky loved Molly as well. But Jacky was a traveling man. He never liked to stay in one place for long. When BJ saw that Jacky was cheating on Molly, it made him angry. BJ thought that Molly deserved to be treated with respect. BJ had very many good reasons for killing

    John Edgar Wideman Quotes

    He writes about how he could identify with his mother’s grief and her constant worrying about Robby. Although Wideman was not physically there with his mother during her phases of concern, he still felt pity for his mother. Wideman remarks, “My mother had already changed, but it took years for me to realize how profoundly she hated what had been done to Garth and then to Robby” (431). Wideman directly indicates that his mother had been affected by Garth’s death and by Robby’s reaction to Garth’s death. He also indirectly implies that discrimination against blacks played a role in his mother’s feelings. During Garth’s time in the hospital, the doctors and nurses were “jiving the other patients, ignoring Gar like he wasn’t there” (426). Ironically, the people being paid to help others did not want to aid a patient in need. Eventually, Garth died because he had trust the white doctors and nurses to care for him. His death caused a domino effect. It led Robby to engage in more criminal acts, therefore causing his mother to start worrying about him and leading Wideman to feel pity for his mother. By examining his own feelings and the feelings of his mother, Wideman was able to prove how his family and friends were affected as a result of discrimination against African…
