Grace the Teacher is a website that chronicles the journal entries of Jeremiah Snow. The journal chronicles Jerry's life from the time he and his family begin living in the country on his grandfathers' property in an old trailer, to the point he returns to Bedford. His family had to leave their home in "Bedford" after his father lost part of his leg in a factory accident and his mother became unemployed. During this time, he and his sister are schooled at home, and they start drinking well-water. Once they're off the Parepin, they start becoming more aware, and start becoming angry at the state of their lives. Later, his sister, Hannah, steps on a nail and contracts tetanus. As a result she is taken to the hospital back to Bedford, where Jeremiah begins to drink Parepin-treated water again. He eventually succumbs to the sense-numbing effect of the water, attributes his time off Parepin to a "test of faith." When his sister dies a hideous death he barely shows emotion. His mother gets another job, and they stay in the city.

-The journal talks about Jerry's life since the point he started living in the country on his grandparents' property on an old trailer of his, until he comes back to Bedford which he had left before. His family had to leave their house at "Bedford" because his father lost part of a leg and after that his mother became unemployed, so they couldn't pay for the house rent. During his time at his grandparent's, he and his sister are schooled at home, and they start drinking water from a well. Since they're off the [[Parepin]], they start becoming more aware of things and start becoming angry at the current state of their lives. His sister steps on a nail and contracts tetanus and was taken back to Bedford, where Jeremiah drinks Parepin-treated water again. He eventually succumbs to the sense-numbing effect of the water, attributes his time off Parepin as a "test of faith," and barely shows emotion at his sister's hideous death from Tetanus. His mother gets another job, and they stay in the city.
-== Text Excerpt ==
-The text is from Rachel Carson's A Silent Spring. It's a book all about the damage pesticides do to our environment.
-From I. A Fable for Tomorrow
-"The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of fall mornings..."
