Chapter 1 a legend is someone that is renown throughout the lands as a figure who has done something extraordinary and has left a mark on the world, for better or for worse. In “The Lilies of the Field,” Homer Smith was the legend. You can tell in the first chapter that he is destined to become a legend by how he lives. He travels from place to place and never settles down. Surely he would stop somewhere with his station wagon and guitar and find his destiny. Fate brought him to the German nuns and that same fate will lead him to become a legend. Homer Smith seems like he would make a good friend because he is friendly to everyone. Even when he met Mother Maria Marthe who spoke sternly to him in her native tongue he kept a “cool head” and tried to find the goodness in her and her surroundings (p. 13). You can also tell that he treats everyone he sees the same and never judges by the color of their skin. Chapter 2 the two main characters in “The Lilies of the Field” are Homer Smith and Mother Maria. Mother Maria and Homer are two people who are completely different. From the time they first meet you can tell they are similar to the “Odd Couple.” Homer likes to sleep in and eat a hearty breakfast. Mother Maria likes to get up at the crack of dawn and have a light breakfast consisting of a small portion of egg. When Mother Maria shows “Schmidt” the chapel he feels it is impossible to build it alone but Mother Maria thinks otherwise by saying that even her and the sisters could build it.
