ReplyDeleteThe Bean Tree-Answers
1. The narrator seems to be very quiet and more to herself. She seems like she wants different than what her town is known for.
2. Alice Greer seems to be close with her daughter and is trying to teach her daughter what else is out there in the world other than pregnancy while Mr. Hardbine and Mr. Shanks seem to more go with the flow of things and not try and prevent their children from falling in the circles that the town has.
3. She left Kentucky because she didn’t want to become one of the girls that became pregnant at a young age and have to drop out.
4. She noticed that there were not any hills but that was something that she grew up with. She said that the Cherokee Nation was crap.
5. A home is somewhere where you feel safe and you have family and people that have your best interest at heart.
6. The girls and women were taken for granted. They were expected to clean and have babies.
7. In chapter Missy (Taylor) is telling the story from her point of view then it shifts it LouAnn telling her view of the story. It goes from Taylor telling her arriving to LouAnn being there.
8. It is relevant that LouAnn came from Kentucky because later in the story that is what connects her and Taylor together and the story overall.
9. LouAnn is more into herself and she was married (but now going through a divorce) and Taylor has just left home for the first time by herself and looking for her place in life.
10. Angel is a Mexican but was born in America and is married to LouAnn. Angel has an artificial leg below the knee due to a truck accident. He has a very aloof attitude and blames others for his problems.
11. She really took in the environment first. Then after looking at it for a while she thought that the scene looked very goofy. Overall she said it was the best thing she had seen in years and she planned to stay. I think part of the reason she stayed was because her car wasn’t going anywhere so she was kind of stuck but also because she thought it was a good place start over.
12. Their names were very similar but 1-800-The Lord is a shopping network that actually deals with the lord and Jesus is Loved Used Tires is actually a car shop where cars are repaired.
13. They are both very fruitful. They both seem to be able to produce in all types of weather conditions
14. This is the chapter where her mother and grandmother come and visit her. The problem is that they don’t know two things. One is that she is getting a divorce, which are sort of forbidden in her family. The other thing is that they don’t know that she is not going to baptize. She solves it by asking Angel to move back in and pretend that they are still a couple and she just didn’t say anything about the baptism. This shows that she is willing to put her feeling aside and please other before pleasing herself.
15. Chapter four shows that women are tight as it gets. It also shows that some relationships between women will be challenged and someone will always have to put their pride aside and fix whatever is broken.
16. tug fork was the place that LouAnn was baptized at and it symbolized that there is deep meaning behind the words to LouAnn
17. They all seem very hippi-ish. Fei had multiple earrings and La-isha was a thick-bodied, with broad bar feet and round calves. Timothy was a tall, thin guy with a hairless chest. They all seemed to be about Taylor’s age.
18. Her description suggests that she keeps up with everything in her garden. It shows that she is very productive and well maintains things.
19. Taylor and LouAnn both begin to talk down about the men. They say how they are so undependable and not good for anything.
