The authors' choice of "hungry" to describe the mills best supports the claim by showing the relentless pace that enslaved people had to keep during the harvest. The use of the word "hungry" personifies the mills, suggesting they constantly needed to be fed with cane, which emphasizes the continuous and demanding work required from the enslaved people to keep up with the mill's demands.
