The Garden Incidents By Nathan Price

Satisfactory Essays

A single-minded and headstrong Southern Baptist preacher, Nathan Price, is one the character who we do not hear from in the book. He moves his family of all girls to Congo, Africa for missionary work but only to make his family realize what kind of a person he is. A very self-righteous person who cares about his own personal salvation. The garden incident is one that shows his true colors. He plants a garden that would work back home, but he refuses to bend to the new culture. So when momma Tatba tells him to do it another way and changes it for him, he is infuriated and changes it back, only to later he realizes he wrong but his pride does not let go. Nathan is very one mindset and prideful character in the book and nothing will ever change
