Published in 1983, the "First Winter Day" is the last section in the "The Stories of Breece
D'J Pancake." The story reveals much of the discontent of a farm boy from West Virginia who
struggles with his sole isolation and a distant truth of true love in an average family and an
unpleasant world. Hollis, the farmer, as the protagonist in the novel, has to tell frequently about
him in depression with his parents, where he faces almost always disagreements and arguments.
Hollis' brother Jake is happier and more hopeful than Hollis. Instead, he is married, lives
elsewhere with a new family, father of two daughters, preacher, and leader of the community,
where he goes to town. Despite Hollis's love of parents, he resented Hollis because they
remembered Jake did good, and Hollis was making him believe like he was a loser. One of the
first reasons why Hollis feels like he is taking part in his home funeral is because of the kind of
partnership he has with his dad; the second is that he fears one day losing two of his parents and
farm's most important stuff, and the last explanation is because Hollis has already lost each
individual in the story Hollis has

In Hollis Pancakes' short story, it seems that as a farmer's child, one of the duties of the
farmer he manages is that his farm performs well and not near. Hollis still wants to impress his
friends, look after them, and ensure they don't forget something they need. The concern with this
is the internal tension in Hollis's interaction with his parents. The parents of Hollis see him as a
failed and conformist person who would do better than to live with and be a farmer for the rest of
her life. He feels all this miserable and so dead inside because Hollis believes he should be proud
of all his good work every day with them. Through seeing how his sister Jake has aspired to be
able to get ahead, Hollis had to meet his parents. He has recently left the estate, married, had two
daughters, a wealthy pastor, and a city leader would not allow his family at home for fear of
being tortured or killed by other people working with him. In his families, who are divided and

ripped apart by strangling and selfishness, the protagonist demonstrates two contrasting stories.
Inwardly Hollis feels resentment towards his parents despite the injustice which his parents
commit while recalling his child. Hollis continues to live on the little left of his estate that I can
hardly maintain. Mother Hollis sees Jake, her eldest boy, with certain favoritism. This lady is not
correct in the mind, as the story says. On the other side, the parent is only following his wife's
two boys. Jakes is therefore seen to be aware of the obligations that Hollis had to assume, but his
parents or brother care not what happens.

Agriculture was a long past with the Hollis family and is representative of Hollis and his
parents for decades. Hollis had a legacy of farming. It is the way for food to be supported for the
home, but Hollis seems exhausted and sad by what he goes through on a farm because of the
year and the bond between them. Hollis is accused of his failure to continue the farming heritage.
In addition to Hollis' care for their parents, Hollis finds himself in need of it in the winter when
all is different, and because of the season, money is scarce. His feeling is that he has just three
escape doors through which his parents are being pressured to sustain him, the farm failure, and
what his brother has to offer. He's afraid that he may one day sacrifice everything that his
relatives have left him to look after him. The level of depression in Hollis often involves acts that
cannot do the best thing for the farm because it is too much for him.

The carefree subject of D'J Pancake's story somehow reveals the actors as carefree. His
lack of himself starts with Hollis and lets him survive with a family that does not understand
what he does with them. True, he is caring for his parents, and that's good, but there are moments
where exceptions like these are present when he should have left so much sooner, not just as a
farmer but also as a lawyer and with a regular family without so much sorrow because he should
take the same treatment from a separate location and not from the farm from a distance as his
