I think Elijah became a man when he stood up for what he believed. ~Alicia
I think Elijah became a man by standing up for what he believed in. He sure told Mr. Turner what he wanted. When they gave him ten dollars he fought back. "You were offering twenty-five dollars to the others" (p.101). They kept arguing. Elijah would not go until he got the money he had been promised. "We ain't going until we get thirty-five dollars" Elijah said "Cash Money"(p.101). Elijah kept fighting until he got what he wanted. I think he showed that he had become a man.
