![]() However, this could be majorly contributed to by the fact that Novella does not, actually, live in a decent neighborhood, but in in a ghetto estate full of street people some homeless hovering around collecting metals, and plastics among other wastes that could be sold at the collection centers just blocks away from her residence. Novella seems to love the city life because of its energy, crowds, and culture however, she also fears the influence and violence that include mugging, killings, and drug use. Novella moves to Oakland and is finally presented with the chance to live where she could access museums, concerts, a mart mere that functioned round the clock, and bars, as she still nurtures her interest in owning a farm with plants and animals including bees, pigs, turkeys, vegetable, fruits, and chicken (Carpenter, 50). The parents claimed living on vegetables was not only healthy but also essentially cheap to plant and make available. Novella's parents taught her how to love nature and live on fresh vegetables. Novella Carpenter, being a woman who grew up loving the city life but leading the farm life with her parents, decided to make the two, city life and farm life, part of her life. ![]()
