The next day, Jake wanted to go back up the beanstalk and so he did. Once Jake reached the top, he was headed to the castle again and going to ask for some riches. He did what he said he was going to do and received 30 pounds of gold in a wagon that he could push down the beanstalk. Jake’s mother was really surprised when Jake came home with lots of gold that they sold immediately. After that night they had food for many months and had a nice home. When it was morning again, Jake’s mother wanted to go up the beanstalk and see if the giant was true and believe Jake, so she climbed up.

    Characters play a major role in the novel The Bean Trees, however Taylor Greer or formally known as Missy Marietta plays the largest role in the novel. “... she entertained me with her vegetable-soup song, except that now there were people mixed in with the beans and potatoes...And me.

One of the first times the reader really gets to see Taylor’s true colors is when she decides that she is going to leave; she buys her car and tells…
