The Day The Tractor Came Analysis

His own parents died. He told his sons the story about the farmer in the pickup.

In the 20th century, the average home life in rural Oklahoma was full of hard workers in the pursuit of the picture-perfect home surrounded by plentiful land. As the sun rises over the land in the morning with a red hue, it signals the commencement of the day ahead. The farmer has already been awake since before the sun broke the horizon, preparing his little equipment and his animals for his land’s work. The farmer’s wife is in the kitchen, cooking her husband a warm breakfast as a sign of her gratitude. Their children wake, running into the kitchen, bellies growling. After gobbling up the breakfast, they run outside to play and do chores of their own. The rest of the farmer’s wife’s day is spent cleaning, cooking, and looking after the

“Growing up on a farm could be a bad or good thing, but i loved it here.” My family moved here when i three years old. My father found a farmhouse, the only one around that my family could afford. It was an old, beat up, and it was barely still standing. Something was strange about the old barn. Dad would never let us go in there. What was wrong with the barn?” “Jackson,” my mom was yelling for me from downstairs. She was 8 months pregnant, so she never risked coming upstairs without any help. I immediately ran out of my room and went downstairs. There I saw a man holding a bloody axe over my mom. She didn’t seem to have any blood on her, so where could the blood have come from? Then there was a faint yell coming from outside in the barn. It

The suffering of farmers caused them to lose money, crops, and their farm lands. Farmers have nowhere to go now that they have lost their farm land and no longer have any money. The farmers are suggesting on going to California to find work. The farmers lands will be destroyed with tractors and their houses will be tore down. Jim Casy and the Joad family go into the town to sell their belongings hoping to sell them for enough money that they can buy themselves are car to go to California.

Through the house having human emotions to the mechanized average household chores it does instead of the people that used to live in it, the aspect of human life on Earth itself is defamiliarised. Even nature itself seems to be replaced by the machines, as shown by the mechanical cleaning mice around the house and the children’s bedroom being an artificial view of the jungle. All in all, everything in the story has gone to the machines.

Retribution was done correctly in Walter B. case but in my belief he needed rehabilitation too because what after he is out of his retribution. He still needs help and treatment because his urge would not be cure automatically. I am not oppose of his retribution but with retribution people like Walter need retribution too.

The poem “Abandoned Farmhouse” by Ted Kooser is an interesting poem that has a mysterious tone and sparks the reader’s imagination. The narrator in this poem is telling the reader about an abandoned farmhouse that he is exploring. The people who lived there are no longer present and the way that they left things at the house suggests that they were forced to suddenly leave. The narrator describes the abandoned shoes, toys, food and other things, bringing to life the empty and mysterious feeling in the house. He also suggests that may have been poor because of the canned food that they had stored up and the possible incompetence of the farmer.

Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom, there lived a lonely poor farmer. You see, he was a foster kid as long as he can remember with no family or friend.

The Corleonesi changed during this period as a new boss Bernardo Provenzano took reign of the Corleonesi. Before Provenzano, Riina had control of the Corleonesi and while during Riina’s control they took on more of a terrorist look and feel. Provenzano earned the nickname ‘The Tractor’ because of his endless want to find his enemies; however, on the other end of the spectrum, Provenzano was also known as ‘the Accountant’ because of his help with incorporating politics and business into the Corleonesi under Riina’s lead. Provenzano attempted to make the Corleonesi appear less in the news and in the media; thus, this caused the number of murders to go down drastically and caused the number of pentito to go down in number also. The approach

The world and its great variety of places have had an impact on my life, but only one has turned me into the person I am today. My home, Zapzalka Farms, is the foundation of my life. Who would have thought a small farm just four miles north of the little town called Bowlus would teach a young man so many valuable lessons about working hard and strong moral values? Looking in from the driveway, I see the house where I grew up, the two story structure composed of 115 year old crusty yellow concrete brick surrounded by flower beds and 50 foot cedar trees. This house has helped me through everything, from birthday parties as a child, to writing Comp papers as a student, I do not know where I would be without it. As I make my way down the driveway surrounded by seven foot cornfields like a mouse searching its

When the son tells the story he reveals that to develop is not necessarily a good thing, “three weeks after the last load of mules is taken, one of the tractors overturns on a hill down by the river and nearly kills one of the hands” (3). As soon as the town drove all the mules out and replaced them with tractors it backfired-- a helper was almost killed. The son then goes on to say “it is not an unexpected tragedy” (3), alluding that the father and grandfather did not really want to progress but had to, and foresaw bad things to occur. This quote can also be a parallel to the family as the son was an “acciden,”, one that could have been predicted since there is no love in the family. The grandfather drives the help to the hospital and on his way home there was a car crash, upon seeing his son (the father) he says: “Son, you’re gonna see a future I can’t even stretch my mind around. Not any of it. I can’t even begin to imagine” (4). The grandfather is scared of the future and doubtful of the progress that is happening, right after the father tells him he is going to have a child, another tragedy that day. Both accidents demonstrate to them that progress is not always bettering the state of ones life; the mule killers almost killed someone, and, similarly, starting a new generation in the family was a mistake.

The smell of the black smoke rolls out of the straight pipe filling the entire shed becoming so strong one can almost taste the diesel. The thrill of getting back into the tractor for the first time since the fall makes for chills to just run down your back. The sound that the engine makes as one pulls the disk back and forth across the fields becomes a friendly sound to them since they had not heard it since the fall. Thoughts roll through your head as one sits and listens to country music on the radio. This is where one can be yourself without anybody else around to bother them.

It took very long, but by sunset, she recognized her farm and her fields. But it had been destroyed. The fields looked as if they had erupted, and her animals were missing. But her house was the saddest . . . it was gone. All her belongings were scattered everywhere.

One sunny summer morning, in a town called Pebble Walk. There was a boy named Wyatt he’s 13 years old. Wyatt lives in a neighborhood that has huge houses. But, Wyatt’s house isn’t huge like the rest of the houses. Wyatt has a loving Mom, and a caring Dad.

Wyatt’s parents work 7:30.A.M to 10:30.P.M. So, no one is around the house really.
