John Cheever "The Death of Justina"

pg 541 – 551

1) “Listen to me,” I said. “You give me an exception and you give it to me now or I’m going home and dig a hole in my garden and bury Justina myself. (548)”

Moses did not care that him burring someone in town was against the town’s policy, he just wanted to Justina the right burial. The mayor said that he felt sympathy but he won’t break a law just for him. Moses finally was fed up with the major and he didn’t care what others thought, he wanted to have Justina barried no matter where but it just had to be soon. The mayor finally let Moses burry Justina.
