In chapter six and seven of Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen, there is a great deal of significant and recently developed information. To start, John still continues to teach Sarny letters, unaffected by the fact that if he is caught the punishment will be even higher; John teaches Sarny “H”. Furthermore, John tells Sarny she is planning to leave the plantation, however he promises to return. Before he leaves, Mammy expresses to John that she wishes she could have met him sooner or at a different location because she enjoyed his company. Adding to John’s absence, Sarny doesn’t believe he will return, but she is wrong. Switching over to the letters she knows, she knows A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I, and J. Adding on, John takes Sarny to something called “Pit School,”
