East of Eden (pg 126-150)

Knocked up
After fornicating with her brother in law and getting pregnant, Adam and Cathy move to the Salinas Valley where Cathy tries to abort her babies, but is found out and almost sent to jail. Meanwhile, Adam makes friends with the Hamiltons and prospects for places to settle.
In the end Adam purchases a property called the Sanchez place from a man named Bordoni with hopes of creating a utopia for him and his soon to be family.
In this portion of the novel, the Hamiltons come into play. Samuel Hamilton is a brilliant man with endless ideas and skills; however, it seems that he isn't able to make much money. Adam acquaints Samuel at his house and purchases the Sanchez property from his advice. A man of many skills: blacksmithing, carpentering, digging wells, etc, Samuel is almost the handyman of the whole valley.

Why did Adam ever marry Cathy? Why does Samuel Hamilton have such horrible luck? Why doesn't Cathy want any kids?

adam married cathy to "protect" her (he should be PROTECTING himself lol). samuel doesnt have bad luck; he's just too kind of a soul to ask anything from anybody. he'd much rather help other people. and i answered this question in marilyns blog: i think she doesnt want kids because she doesnt wanna be tied down to someone -D
