Destruction of Creation(Serena and Pemberton vs Rachel)

By: Sarah Neu

• To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day. - Sir Winston Churchill

Serena and Pemberton

• “Pemberton took one final step, the hunting knife’s blade flat as he slipped it inside Harmon’s coat and plunged the steel through shirt cloth and into the soft flesh above the older man’s left hip bone (9).

Serena and Pemberton

• “Is there a reason that we shouldn’t?” Pemberton asked. “He has a wife and three children.” “All for the better,” Serena said. “It will make a more effective lesson for the other workers”(36).

Serena and Pemberton

• “Just Albright and Rockefeller’s lawyer,” Pemberton replied that evening as he and Serena prepared for bed. “Albright wanted no state politicians at the meeting. He said even with Webb and Kephart there we’ll still have a five-to-four advantage.” “Good, we’ll get this settled once and for all,” Serena said... “It jeopardizes more important matters” (116-17).

• “Give us a lifetime and Mrs. Pemberton and I will cut down every tree, not just in Brazil but in the world” (346).

Serena and Pemberton

• “Your wife and that henchman of hers thought she’d tell them where the Harmon girl and her child were. That’s what I think. They went to the girl’s cabin first. The door was wide open this morning, and I know for a fact it was fastened last night” (254).

• “The hunting knife was in the same place as before, but when Pemberton pulled its elk-bone handle from the sheath, he saw that blood stained the blade” (256).

Serena

• “Must be that sandwich your missus made special for you,” Galloway said. “She mixed some rat poison into the mustard, then added some of that Paris Green to sweeten it.” “She said to tell you she thought you the one man ever strong and pure enough to be her equaling, but you wanting that child alive showed the otherwise of that” (362-63).

Rachel

• “...who leaned over her father, hands cradling the blank face close to hers as if something might yet be conveyed to him. Tears flowed down the young woman’s cheeks, but she made no sound” (10).

• “I tried not to,” Rachel said. “I just couldn’t find a way to stop myself” (97).

• “But Jacob was alive, and she’d have to protect him because there was nobody else to. She’d have to be afraid for the both of them” (276).

Rachel

• “Let him go and he’ll be back, Rachel told herself, and you won’t catch him again because a coon’s too smart to be fooled twice”(83).

• “I don’t even have a choice. Rachel thought how that was pretty much true of everything now”...”It ought not to be like that, Rachel told herself, and she knew that for a few folks it wasn’t. They could make a wrong choice and be on their way with no more bother than a cow swishing a fly with its tail. That wasn’t right either. Her anger made it easier to go to the shed and get the axe” (83-84).
