Children of My Heart - Post 3

Part three of Children of My Heart is the shortest part in the book, but I found it more interesting than the first one. Although the entire book is in the perspective/memories of the teacher, the characters jump around a lot. As soon as you get used to a character and grow to love them, they are shuffled around and you have to start again. However, in the part two all of the characters were maintained throughout the entire section. There was one main foucus in part two, and that was Andre.
In part two the teacher is at a new school, and she is the only teacher. She teaches a class of forty students from first to eighth year. Andre is one of her students. He has the farthest to walk to school, two and a half miles, and he has the most chores to do at home. Andre's home life is hard. His father works hard to make enough money to pay the bills, to do this he has to got to a neighbouring village over the winter time. He leaves his two sons Andre and Emile to look after the household, the animals and the pregnant mother. Andre's Mom has hard pregnancies, she is forced to stay in bed after the first few months or she risks losing the baby. As winter approaches, Andre is forced to drop out of school. The young teacher always sits at her desk, waiting for Andre to come back to school, but he never comes.
As she changed schools in this part, I think that this will happen again in the third and final part. It will probably take place a few more years in the future, so she has some more experience. As the time passes I think that the variety of Immagrants will increase.
I'm really interested to see how the story line will turn out. There hasn't really been a plot to the story. So far the major events have been a child does something heartbreaking or touching. The teacher then learns from these events and becomes a better person. If it continues with this trend I don't think the Climax will be very exciting.
