Grant Bello, aka Cherry narrates this chapter. All the local black families have a small area of the yard that belongs to them. The wounded officer remains down in the front of the house while a shootout ensues between the old men and the white mob. When he returns home, he hands his sack of fish to his wife, Ella, and phones Clatoo, but he had just left with his shotgun. Although Sheriff Mapes is convinced that Mathu is the murderer, an arrest cannot be made with the numerous other confessions in play. Beau's arrival heralded changes in the agricultural system and eventually led to the decreased need for local black labor. Order our A Gathering of Old Men Study Guide, teaching or studying A Gathering of Old Men. Dirty Red joins the group later. After a while, Jacob gets up and goes over to his sister Tessie's grave. The white men eventually killed her for sleeping with blacks. Use up and down arrows to review and enter to select. When Clatoo arrives, he joins the other men going to Mathu’s house. As Cherry walks through the empty cane fields, he feels lonely and depressed. The group stops when they arrive at the cemetery where the Black community has buried its dead for generations. Red rattles off an impressive list of all of the family he's got buried there. It stops before the house and Lou, Candy's boyfriend, gets out. A Gathering of Old Men Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to As if taking Jacob's cue, everybody there starts tending to the graves of their family members, taking the time to clean things up a bit. They are not standing up just for themselves but for their ancestors. Cherry reflects that pride is an emotion that they all seem to feel. Yank is in his early seventies, but he used to be a cowherd and still acts like a cowboy notwithstanding his aged body that was frequently injured over the years. Miss Merle helps spread the word and within hours, a dozen and a half men, all well into their seventies and eighties, arrive at the house with arms, set to play a part in the plan. Mat recalls the death of their son after he was refused treatment at the hospital due to his race. His arrival seems inevitable considering that his son was the man who was murdered; the hunt for revenge  will understandably be his main objective. Without the support of all of his sons, Fix reluctantly abandons his plot for revenge and remains home. After his death, members of the community pay tribute to Charlie by touching his body. Clatoo, on the other hand, describes Mathu's snobbish preference for his coal black skin. Sometimes a larger family had to take a space or two from the plot reserved for a larger family, but nobody minded. Ella threatens to call the police, so Mat tears the phone out of the wall. Cherry goes to his family's area and prays. After he had arrived on the scene of the murder and waited with the men, Candy, and the sheriff for awhile, Lou Dimes noticed that the old men began The community is dying away, just as the plantation is becoming increasingly decayed. Pray if you want to. Having effectively hit a dead end in the investigation, the Sheriff and everyone present are forced to sit and wait for the impending arrival of Fix Boutan and his lynch mob. After discovering the identity of the slain man, the Sheriff sends his deputy to locate and detain Fix in order to prevent  him from building a lynch mob to retaliate against the plantation. They both look off at the yards and yards of fields where sugar cane used to be. This meditative moment in the graveyard then both strengthens and affirms the men. Clatoo makes sure everyone has an empty shell. The white community, we have already seen, divides itself between Cajuns and landowners. Mathew Lincoln Brown (Mat) narrates. A final theme that arises in both of these chapters is the issue of the relevance of skin tone within the black community itself. Mathu is a dark-skinned man who takes pride in his coloring. Clatoo sees Mathu squatting near his house. About a mile down the road, Clatoo stops to pick up Dirty Red. (5.38) Candy then implements a plan designed to confuse the Sheriff that involves bringing local men to the Mathu’s house with shotguns and empty shells. Chapter 6. The gang stops and hangs out in the shade of some pecan trees. The men arrive at the graveyard that is surrounded by increasingly encroaching sugar cane. Although the Sheriff’s arrival is one of great anticipation, most of the plantation’s people are equally, if not more, anxious about the coming of  a Cajun named Fix, a local known for his role as the leader of many past lynch mobs against blacks. Cherry and Red agree that their "people"—their relatives—will be proud of all of them once the day's over. A local by the name of Luke Will does not accept this unwillingness to act and raises his own group to carry out the planned lynching.

The first person they all see is Candy, and Clatoo says it's obvious that she's really, really happy that all of them have shown up. A regular day in a Louisiana sugarcane plantation changes course when a local white farmer is shot in self defense. With these two chapters, the old men gather and finally arrive at the plantation. This walk gives Cherry the opportunity to explain that although the Marshall family still owned the plantation, the Bautons have been leasing it for close to twenty-five years. © 2020 eNotes.com, Inc.
