    Shiloh directly correlates to the tone of Leroy and Norma Jean 's relationship and personal developments throughout the course of the story. To Leroy Moffitt, his hometown is a source of many fond memories, especially those of childhood. It was where he grew up, where he dated, and married Norma Jean, and was where he had his first (and only) child. These memories did not have the chance to grow tainted through continuous presence in the town, however; since he became a truck driver, he would frequently be away from his town, which gave him a more nostalgic and idealistic attitude towards the town. These overly romantic notions about his town gave him a desire to continue to stay, and to even make his mark on the land by building a log cabin for himself and his wife. This desire to stay in the town shows how immature Leroy still is mentally-he doesn 't want to leave the site of his childhood again, for fear of another accident.

This is a woman who, for all of her life so far, has been in this town and not allowed to leave. Through having a teenage pregnancy and a shotgun wedding to an absentee husband, she feels as though she hasn 't gotten a real chance to live her life. Leroy 's return just amplifies these feelings, as the true…

About reuniting with your family heritage. Everything happens for a reason. I can compare so many things and relate to this book. For example in Uncle Tom 's…
