Think of coffie and how important it is to life and what u would do with out it. When the little things go away people change and can become mad. Do to the setting and being during a war Ellen is haveing really bad headache because coffie supplies where running out. The country is devoting everything to the war so stuff like coffie gets left out. Ellen head was really starting to hurt and she send Jethro to go get some.

Jethro gets sent to the town and get stoped by a family friend that asks for a few things and ask about the war. It was fifteen miles from the house to the town. Jethro gets the stuff in town as he walks around he sees rich and poor. He see people around a fire that are poor and look horrible. He thinks to himself that he does have it better then most people but can improve.
