The story
Six-year-old Hushpuppy and her ailing, hot-tempered father Wink live in a small community on an island in the Louisiana bayou called the "Bathtub".
She returns to her house, which is a separate building from the one in which Wink resides, and finds her food burning on the stove.
Hushpuppy thinks she has thrown off the balance of the universe by striking her father and runs to get help.
