Chapter 17

Chapter 17 has a bunch of different things happening. Brende ends up selling the rest of his molasses at wholesale price. Something I don’t think he should’ve done. I felt like he kind of gave up. Also in this chapter it seems like he is making more enemies than friends. The Miller boy is mad at him because Brende made him wait and was not being all that helpful. Also, someone stole the deer meat off of their front porch and they invited themselves over to someone’s house to play bridge. At last in the end of the chapter he is getting along with Caleb. I think it is pretty gross that they can’t tell the difference between their canned chicken and their canned pork. Also, I think it was pretty unnecessary to go into gory details about killing a chicken and plucking its feathers.
