While Wilson is on his way to see Mr. Carson, we learn that he is very hungry and hasn’t eaten in days.

He also tells the reader that like him, the servants’ hunger and cravings have turned into a numb “sickness”.

One day while eating, the family spots a scarlet ibis on a tree but later it dies because of the environmental change. Later on, the older brother pushed Doodle so hard, slowly weakening Doodle and when the storm comes, as they’re running the older brother decides to ditch Doodle. Leaving Doodle behind, the older brother goes back to find Doodle who has not come back yet and the older brother sees that Doodle is bleeding from his mouth and neck causing Doodle’s death. Many people question if it is the older brother’s fault, and it is his fault because of his lack of responsibility, pushing Doodle to his limits, and how the older brother just left him in the storm. Since the brother is older than Doodle, the older brother is responsible for Doodle’s action and risks because the doctor has given a list of what not to do.

The loss of the boy's mother takes a toll on him and the way he acts. Udall makes it clear that boy lost his mother when he refers to "the accident" from the father's point of view.

Each of the Bundrens took the death of Addie in a different way. While Jewel may have seemed to be acting more selfish and irritated than the rest of the family, I believe that it was just his way of expressing his sadness over the death of his mother whom he knew loved him very much. He was also upset that his brother Cash was making her casket right outside of her window so she could see it. “It’s because he stays out there, right under the window, hammering and sawing on that goddamn box.

While I just sit and eat a apple I think of how bad they wish they could’ve eaten an apple through that time. I wish I could live with the thought of surviving something so dreadful yet be happy for what I have. During this visit, I realized how much struggle the Jewish people had all because of nothing.

The poor man then later on pictures his children crying for food and a warm place to inhabit. "They behind their well-fed teams have no thought for the morrow; they know hunger only by name, and ride down to spend in an hours shopping what would keep me and my little ones from want a whole year." This thought in his mind made him become furious and he tries to seek for a revenge. The poor man began to cut people
