What do you think the Cloud Men's Job is? What is their purpose?

The Cloud-Men are wispy white phantasms that frequently appear in the latter chapters of the book as antagonists. They have an entire civilization of mothers, fathers, and children, and as the peach travels through this realm, James and his friends attract unwanted attention and anger from the Cloud-People.

During their clashes with James and his companions, the Cloud-Men throw hailstones and paint at the peach, and almost succeed in tangling the giant fruit in rainbow ropes and bringing it down. Within the fantasy world of James and the Giant Peach, these cloud-dwellers explain the creation of all weather activity that humans witness on earth.
