She even gives the same status to both of them. Kingsolver presents both these factors as very important and influential. It should be noted that the author does not contrast the role of these basic influential factors for a child’s bearing and development. We are going to analyze the importance of nature and nurture for a child’s bearing and development presented in Kingsolver’s work. It touches upon burning issues of the modern society such as the conflict between ethical and legal, racism, adoption laws, homelessness, multiculturalism, kidnapping, depression suicide, the conflict of nature and nurture etc. This funny, inspiring book is a marvelous affirmation of risk-taking, commitment and everyday miracles.Barbara Kingsolver’s The Bean Trees is one of the most popular and urgent literary works nowadays. Similarly, Taylor finds that motherhood, responsibility and independence are thorny, if welcome, gifts. The desert climate, landscape and vegetation are completely foreign to Taylor, and in learning to love Arizona, she also comes face to face with its rattlesnakes and tarantulas.
With Turtle in tow, Taylor lands in Tucson, Ariz., with two flat tires and decides to stay. Taylor playfully names her little foundling ``Turtle,'' because she clings with an unrelenting, reptilian grip at the same time, Taylor aches at the thought of the silent, staring child's past suffering. The unmistakable voice of its irresistible heroine is whimsical, yet deeply insightful. A first novel, The Bean Trees is an overwhelming delight, as random and unexpected as real life. But when a forlorn Cherokee woman drops a baby in Taylor's passenger seat and asks her to take it, she does. Taylor leaves home in a beat-up '55 Volkswagen bug, on her way to nowhere in particular, savoring her freedom.
By the time she reaches Oklahoma, this strong-willed young Kentucky native with a quick tongue and an open mind is catapulted into a surprising new life. Feisty Marietta Greer changes her name to ""Taylor'' when her car runs out of gas in Taylorville, Ill.
