Long Answer

1. The success of Hanover proves that John was right about three things: believing in the value of land ownership, believing in the potential of Nebraska, and putting Alexandra in charge. The latter is especially significant because of the interdependency of small farming communities; if Alexandra did not manage her own land well, it could have a ripple effect on Hanover at large. (Part 1, Chapter 2)

2. Oscar and Lou are suspicious of Carl because he is poor and works on a traveling, freelance basis. This prejudice reveals that Oscar and Lou’s community is tight-knit and homogeneous in its ideas about work ethic.
