The Bean Trees

In the story The Bean Trees, Taylor is certain she never wanted a baby. But since she ended up with one, I predict she will become attached. Taylor even named the baby girl. Not a real name, but a nick name-Turtle "on account of her grip". Little things like this prove that she will soon love the baby to death. I also predict that they will live on the road and travel just like the ants. After a cigarette butt fell on the ground a swarm of ants tried picking at it. "Some truck had carried that tobacco all the way from Kentucky maybe, from some Hardbine's or Richey's or Biddle's farm, and now a bunch of ants were going to break it into little pieces to take back to there queen. You just never knew were something was going to end up". Taylor is like the cigarette, you never knew were she and Turtle were going to end up.
