Today we discussed the importance of Pichot's backdoor, and what it means for Grant to walk through it once more. He has lived all his life on this plantation and always entered through the backdoor, because blacks were not allowed to use the front door. When he went off to university Tante Lou told him he never had to go through that door again. This meant that he was going to be better than that; he was equal to Mr. Pichot and should not be ashamed or allow himself to be put down.
Grant is upset at his aunt for making him walk through that door after ten years. He does not want to be there and he shows his frustration by not acting how Mr. Pichot expect. It is his way of standing up for himself. -Mr. Phillips
