Preface

This story was written to educate the audience of the pain and other affects

of being seasonally employed on a sugar cane field. The sample focuses

mainly on adults and teenagers. The writer intends to publish this through

the use of business journal. This would be appropriate because the

prospective audience is concerned with business and economic issues.

The sample size used for the selected audience tends to be suitable as it

grabs the attention of the reader and clearly outlines the main idea without

lapsing the reader interest. The main character is the Jamaican woman who

wanted to provide for her family in whatever way it maybe, since the cane

field was her only source of employment; she was then faced with addition

challenges although she was earning money. This is a situation to which

most if not all Jamaicans can relate, being informed in this way will help

them to find another option if this situation may occur.

175 words.

IS THIS THE LIFE?

The pain, the strain, the aches of her body

The sun pelts, the sweat drowns her happy thoughts,

Stressed, confused, fustrated

Hopeless

Why lord?

Wah mek she one affi face this?

The blister on her hands,

The itches on her body, the suffering;

For a good cause though

She need to make bread; food for the family

The laser hot rays of the sun sorched her being.

Discomfort resonates through her every fibre and vein

Exhausted, overwhelmed

She heaved a vragged breath and exhaled

The sweat ant tears

Flowed as

One river

All in the same destination

At times she worked like a man

chopping, chopping, slashing,slashing

her muscles ache, they burn

like the fire of the cane now ;

hell fire

Like her life today ,A living hell


4/5

Same yesterday, today and tomarrow

Why? How can this be?

Why is this happening to her?

The sweet smelling smoke disappear into her nostril

Then exploded in her head

Her eyes reflected the fire; red and the tears

Spurts from her eyes and nostril too

She cough blood and spit,

Looking up, the smoke ascend to the heavens

The smut, like a flock of ravens

Swirling in the air; blinding

Lawd Jeezus, mi cya tek it noo more fada she said.

This dry crooked ground from which the cane comes

The cane; my source of employment,

The source of her pain

The life she had to live

Seasonally; Spring no wuk

Summer no wuk, mi did jus affi wait until winter come again.

She said.

The nights for resting were interrupted by the tractors

Pulling there carts to the factory

What sense does it make?

After working herself to wrecked still not enough money earned to meet the

needs of the family for the next six months.


5/5

Only option now was to play roulette

Yes, her children come first

So she will make all effort to ensure that she meet their basic needs

Did her children make this a waste?

Did they use this to motivate them to be successful?

Oh yes, it motivates them

Today their mother works no more

They have achieve the highest they could

Now their mother, their first priority,

Their motivator

And

Their reason for living

Life changes in the morning without a sparkle you would think you are

dreaming.
