    At the beginning of this chapter, we are confronted with a sense of normalcy, the ‘wagons’, ‘tanneries’ and ‘mills’ demonstrate the quiet, undisturbed life of those living in Amiens.

The repetition of ‘substantial’ used to describe both the gardens and the characteristics of Azaire reiterate the stability of the lives of the people of Amiens. This is somewhat ironic, as the readers know that this idea of constancy will soon be destroyed.…

They were renting farms; my father, besides working his own fields, also was a hired man for two other farmers. They had no capital initially, and had to gain it slowly, working from dawn until midnight every day. My town-bred mother learned to set hens and raise chickens, feed pigs, milk cows, plant and harvest a garden, and can every fruit and vegetable she could scrounge. She carried water nearly a quarter of a mile from the well to fill her wash boilers in order to do her laundry on a scrub board. She learned to shuck grain, feed threshers, shuck and husk corn, feed corn pickers. In September 1925, the third baby came, and in June 1927, the fourth child – both daughters.

The water swirled and washed down upon the land, spilling over rocks, pooling into a lake and then wandering afar to spread life to other places. In the valley, the corn grew tall again, and the people came back to their home.” Then Tutokanula had heard…
