The author, at a very young age, vowed to himself that he would never go to work in the coal mines. Where education was not rated very highly, since none was needed to work underground in the dirty, dangerous mines. As this was quite a difficult vow at this place and in that time, it proved to be a real struggle to escapethe environment and the culture of the neighborhood.
