Biography: 

There are both "hands and tenants" on Mister Ernest's property (308). The narrator does not define the difference, but presumably the "hands" work for a salary, and the "tenants" farm a parcel of land for a share of the crop after it is harvested. The narrator's parents were among the "tenants"; no other members of either group are described, but it's likely that there are blacks as well as whites among them.
