Quote #10

There began to take shape a long, firm kind of mound. The children fed it. M.C. shoveled and Ben packed it. In the immense quiet of Sarah's Mountain late in the day, they formed a wall. And it was rising. (14.237)

It's a new generation bringing change to Sarah's Mountain—or more accurately, this generation of kids is bringing action. It's not just the wall they're building that's rising; it's the kids themselves, especially M.C. A loner before, M.C. is now a part of a group, nose to the ground, working to save his homestead. Pretty inspiring, don't you think?
