Passages+Ch.24

Passages from Chapter 24:

Jule said, "These here dances done funny things. Our people got nothing, but jes' because they can ast their frien's to come here to the dance, set 'em up an' makes 'em proud. An' the folks respects 'em 'count of thes here dances. Fella got a little place where I was a-workin'. He come to a dance here. I ast him myself, an' he come. Says we got the only decent dance in the whole county, where a man can take his girls an' his wife."

This quote tells us how much of a privillage the dances are. these people have nothing and the fact that they get to have a little bit of fun is special for them. Its there one escape from there hard working life tyring to find jobs and working hard hours just so they can survive.
