It was a small village somewhere in South Wales. Lost in a beautiful green valley and surrounded by mountains, it seemed like an ideal place for the formation of the personality of man, his views the world of nature. In lived there were wonderful people — honest, respectable, hard-working and proud. They lived in the carefree his small, cozy little world to until the valley opened the first coal mine — it and marked the beginning of a transformation in the life of the village.
Hugh Morgan was youngest son of seven children in the family of the pious miner. His big brothers, like and the father, too, worked for mine for every day came up with work with black, sooty faces. Little Hugh secretly they were jealous, he wanted to be like them to be an honest man as they, because the brothers were for him an example for others to follow. It has strong traditional Welsh family where a loving and emotional mother, torn between her husband and children, engaged in farming, their care and attention it covers every corner stone of the family home — she was the guardian of the values of archaic culture; strict, but just a father who wants to give their children the best in including to educate at least the youngest of them — Hugh. He — the last of the sons, was the first of the Morgans who went to school who could break into people to become a respected man. But Hugh not have done, preferring to work on mine, along with my brothers and father. Perhaps it was his first a conscious choice, influenced entire life.
Life went on as usual until the mine is not began to lay off people, this trouble touched the family of Hugh. Discontent in the town grew, and with him was growing opposition in the family of Morgan. The fundamental question of strike split the seemingly indivisible family on two parts: on one side was the workaholic head of the family, who believed that sabotage nor to lead; to another — the sons, who wanted a better life and respect the owners of the mine. The split was a deep young, Hugh again I had to choose where with whom to be. He left with parents. But his world it's not was so cozy and cloudless as before.
Mine brought in the city of confusion, it is, in fact, was the symbol of the industrial revolution in a single valley. It slowly and gradually destroyed the traditional way of life of the people, and to place them and leave a clear and is tangible, simple and understandable to the child, Hugh. Its valley is already was not so green as before, it covered with a layer of soot from coal mines. Everything has there was only white and black, true and untrue, good and bad. The smoke enveloping the village outshone the Sun, so for protagonist his only sister, the Sun disappeared behind the dark clouds, giving way to gloomy doubts. Family home in the end was empty, the older brothers left Wales and something inside of Hugh is also empty. Something's gone.
Years later, when your family have no, or it is quite different when you feel stock your love is fading out, you can just reminisce about the past, how much love and warmth inherent in you in all people with birth, as a lot of good happened in your life, and how beautiful was your green valley before. And because it still you. In your memory. She always you. You just need to remember.
