This time I read from page 181 to the end of part III. The last reading was serious, and this one was just as serious if not more so. When John Grady and Rawlins go to prison, they almost immediately start getting into fights and getting pummeled. The prison is terrible, and guards don’t try to stop any of the violence. First Rawlins gets knifed then John Grady gets attacked in the dining area. That part was intense; the fight is quite close, and John Grady ends up killing the assassin. John Grady believes that the assassin was hired but I really don’t know who would have hired someone to kill him. On the note of John Grady killing the assassin, I think that it was okay because he would have been killed himself if he hadn’t, but understandably John Grady takes the incident pretty hard. I was glad when Rawlins and John Grady got bailed out. It was sad to see Rawlins leaving John Grady because he is my favorite character in the book, but at least he gets to go home where it is safe.
