It is impossible not to feel displaced when someone comes and takes over a person's job and is better at it, like Mr. Guizac does to Mr. Shortley.
With all of this going on, Mrs. Shortley starts to get concerned about other Displaced Persons coming to the farm and replacing all of the workers. She explains this by talking about how the mules that were once used for farm work are now considered useless because they were replaced by tractors. She compares this to how the Displaced Persons will replace the Negroes on the farm. This creates a feeling of displacement inside of her because she will begin to be outnumbered by Polish people. The author explains, "The Negroes would be gone and there would be the two families against Mr. Shortley and herself! She began to imagine the war of words, to see the Polish words and the English words coming at each other" (216). After getting herself all worked up, and hearing that Mr. Shortley may indeed get fired, she packs up the family and decides to leave that place. Because of Mr. Guizac's arrival, she has the feeling of detachment and not belonging so much that she is forced to leave. .
The Shortley's are not the only workers who feel displaced upon the arrival of Mr. Guizac. Astor, an elderly black worker, and Sulk, a young black worker, start to feel this same way. They are not fond of Mr. Guizac because, as the author clarifies, "The Displaced Person expected them to work as hard as he worked himself, whereas Mr. Shortley recognized there limitations" (241). Just like Mr. Shortley, this suddenly makes them feel unwanted and out of place at the farm, a place that they had worked at for a very long while. Consequently, soon after Mr. Shortley leaves the farm for good, Sulk has "a sudden desire to see more of the world and set off for the southern part of the state" (251). Not wanting to work without a partner, Astor leaves as well.
Though all of these workers acquire a feeling of displacement from Mr.
