How Cohesive a Thesis!

The Sheriff of Hardyville, Arkansas has been called to the scene of a terrible accident. The body of a young farmhand has been found under the wheel of his still running tractor. The sheriff had never seen anything like it before although he has served this area for over thirty years. Through the sobs of the young man's young brides tears he senses that she knows more than she is saying as to the circumstances surrounding this tragedy. She is taken in for questioning where the truth finally comes out. The young man has been awake for nearly a week using crystal-meth and fell from his seat under the tractors wheel when his body couldn't take any more. The story of "Winter's Bone" written by Daniel Woodrell takes place in a town deep in the Ozarks  with many similarities to Hardyville. The grip of  methamphetamine seems to be tighter on such rural areas across the country. By choosing a rural setting for his novel "Winter's Bone" Daniel Woodrell has shed light on the social conditions existing in rural areas which promote the manufacturing and use of methamphetamines.
