All of the other times we see his philosophy as more of a "Possessions over People" approach. The only time Charles thinks of others before his possessions is when he is having Kelley pack for him in preparation for their trip to the Stargill farm. She asks him if she should pack his good suits, and he wisely tells her no. He thinks about other people, realizing that he does not want to look too ostentatious. But then there is a glimpse into his "Possessions over People" attitude. It is obvious how much he takes pride in his recently new, shiny Lexus car. He very well could have driven another car in order not to look too ostentatious, like the suits, but he does not. I think this is due to the fact that Appalachians can tell a lot about people in viewing the car they drive, and Charles wants people to know that he is a successful country singer. Charles always seems "hung up" on being famous, this is another example. Lastly, Charles" love for his prized rosewood Martin guitar that his grandmother gave to him once again displays how much he values his possessions. Even during times of crisis, when Kayla was lost out in the woods and Kelley was in distress, Charles was not out looking for Kayla or comforting Kelley, he could be found playing his rosewood Martin. He even forbids Kayla to so much as touch it. Kelley said it best with "The guitar was like a part of Charles Martin, as if they were connected somehow and sometimes he would take it out and rub the strings with a chamois cloth." It is very obvious to see how much Charles valued this possession, even more than the people who were closest to him. .
