Oz is name after the "Wizard" in the Wizard of Oz. I think that he was name Oz because the Wizard from this movie could bring out the best in everyone and was known as the savior of Emerald City. He was taken for a powerful sorcerer by the munchkins of Oz and was benevolent, but also a humbug. You can definitely infer that Oz is a very special child to Amanda and was to Jack, and the movie must have been very popular to everyone as well for them to give him that nickname.

photograph 1:

1. "His wide, blue eyes were blinking rapidly, a sure indication that his nerves were racing at a feverish pitch." page 61. This quote gives us another sense of the innocence that embodies Oz, as well as how close him and Lou are. Lou can observe his body language and quickly determine his mood.

2. " 'You right big fer that, now ain'tcha, son?' " page 47. Diamond's speech and diction let the reader's know more about the people of Appalachia in the book. Obviously, they aren't well educated.

3. "Danger roamed the steep slopes and loamy vallies..." page 41. Danger is personified, while also making the scene stronger. Now, as a reader, we can picture how treacherous it could be to work and/ or live in the mountains.

Lou was awestruck by the mountains her father used to call home. In the beginning, she couldn't understand how dirt could mean so much to anyone, but laying eyes on it for the first time "she had a sense of how it could, for Lou had never experienced anything quite like it." Compared to the 1940's New York Lou had initially called home, the Appalachian Mountains were spacious, clean, and beautiful. Also, as the towns get smaller and smaller and the roads become nonexistent, Lou realizes that her way of life will have to change drastically.

When you first meet Eugene, he is very shy and says nothing. All he does is take the kids in the car and until after he swerves to get out of the way from a tractor, he says nothing to the kids. Of course this makes Lou very suspicious about who this person was until Diamond comes in the car and introduces Eugene as "Hell No." You learn from Diamond that his name was "Hell No" and this was because he was dropped off by his dad and when they asked if he would ever pick him back up, he said, "Hell no!" Indirectly, you learn that he might not be the nicest person on the mountain and would probably have been put into slavery if Louisa hadn't taken him in.

In the 1940's, the Civil Rights movement had just begun and the voting rights and education had just started to be fought for by African Americans. This means that segregation was in place, so it was probably odd, but kind of Louisa to take Eugune in.
