Where as most had found sanctuary on an oasis in the middle of the desert, the Walls family had deemed Blythe, California “too civilized […] and downright unnatural” (Walls 44). This was likely due to the fact that “some guy” had re-devised the irrigation system which turned “desert into farm land” (Walls 44). From a modern and forward thinking mindset, the accomplishment of developing and adapting the Roman system of irrigation brought money into Blythe. The town was considered to the contemporary mindset to be a sanctuary from the deadly dry heat. However, to the Walls’ Blythe was an abomination of nature and the natural order. The world was not meant to be distorted and mishandled. Hence it was no surprise that when those that profited from Blythe’s wealth discovered Jeannette and her siblings were different/poor they terrorized them. This would be the first in a long chain of being pressured due to their family’s lifestyle and beliefs.
