Fried Green Tomatoes

So in creative writing class we just finished watching Fried Green Tomatoes (great movie by the way, ya'll should watch it.) and so now we have to finish these questions about the movie. Sorry if this may bore you, but it's for a grade.



1.The story of Idgie, and her confidence inspired Evelyn to be able to confront her husband and his inability to make their marriage work. It also gave her confidence to face the people who take advantage of her.



2.The frame story is Evelyn and her life with her husband, and her conversations with Ninny. The main characters in the frame story is Evelyn, her husband, and Ninny.



3.The inner story is the story of Idgie and Ruth and their life in Alabama. The main characters are Idgie, and Ruth.



4.Becaue no one would expect Sipsey to kill Frank. They all expected Idgie to do it since Ruth was her best friend, and she threatened to kill him.



5.My favorite vingette in the story was when Ruth and Idgie were h aving a food fight in the kitchen.



6. Sipsey's head pounded, impeding her vision with tiny black dots that danced across her eyes. Vaguely, she could make out the picture of Frank Bennett, running out the door with Buddy's cradle gripped firmly in his hands. She tried to scream for Big George, only to remember that he was out helping Idgie with the town play. Shakily, she pulled herself up off the floor, balancing on arms as thin as toothpicks. She could feel them ready to snap in half as she flung the frying pan into her hands. Warily, she let her footsteps drift her towards the door. She halted at the frame as the shouts of Frank and Smokey resonated through the trees, bouncing violently off the bark, and into the night sky. A thud sounded, and Sipsey peered through the crack in the door just in time to watch Smokey's body collapse onto the ground. As Frank fidgeted hurredly with his keys, she made her move. Her footsteps landed on sweet silence, allowing her to move undetected. Wielding the frying pan as if it were an axe, she raised it high over her head, and brought it down hard on the back of Frank's skull. She knew he was dead the moment she heard his bone shatter inside his skin. But she had no time to worry about jail, or sins, or any such selfish nonsense. She simply grabbed Buddy, and ran.
