The Farming of Bones

In The Farming of Bones Amabelle is offered to return to Hati. It was the place she had not seen since she was a child. Doctor Javier is the one who gives the offer to Amabelle, "If you want, you can come with me and some others. There`ll be many children with us, perhaps ten orphans." (Danticat 79). This might of been a good offer for Amabelle because she had not given herself "much time to think about this, to consider returning to a place"(Danticat 79). This was her chance to change her life, however things not always work out and she was asked to stay at papi`s.

When there is a good offer you might want to take it. Nevertheless anything can change it. Like what happened to Amabelle. She was offered to work at the orphan but, Señora Valencia`s son died and it is something that might made her stay. Eventhough She new she was going to have a better life with Doctor Javier. This is like in Gone With The Wind, Scarlett`s slave could of run away when Atlanta is on fire but, they realized that they would rather stay with their "owners". Amabelle was not owned by anyone but she had been very attached to Señora Valencia for a long time of her life and something might made her stay.
