An Intro to Appalachian Studies class will be posting an in-depth analysis of the novel and we would appreciate others taking the time to read through the analysis for accuracy, relevance, and brevity. The initial wiki edit is a collaborative effort of 38 students that will be followed up by individual edits from students. Although this is a class project, the forthcoming posting is still susceptible to the same inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and incorrect information that is part of the editing process of any article on wikipedia. 128.173.104.39 (talk) 17:14, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a section for a plot summary in which I have only just begun to state what occurs in the book. I focused specifically on the growing relationship between the two main characters and not on many other important points in the book such as the other characters, or the coal mines which is a huge part of the book. The summary segment I added is my own personal interpretation of how the relationship progressed.
I have also added a section for themes and have added two I believe to be themes. These are my own personal opinions and may not be actual themes of the novel according to the author.
