Out of the Dust

Daddy came in,
he sat across from Ma and blew his nose.
Mud streamed out.
He coughed and spit out mud.
If he had cried,
his tears would have been mud too,
but he didn't cry.
And neither did Ma.

  2. The novel Out of the Novel is considered a historical fiction novel. The characteristics of the novel are in the diagram below. This novel is written in poetic form, but is told as a story. Billie Jo loses so many things which she holds dear to her. Though the novel is set in the 1930's in an unimaginable place, it is easy to understand why so many people are attracted to this novel.
