Fried Green Tomatoes

1) Ninny's stories inspired Evelyn to do so much for herself and others. Evelyn finally stood up to her husband and acted like a real person or how Evelyn would say it "Tawanda". She became more sure of herself and was not afraid to be who she really is. She began working out and not letting herself get any fatter than she already was. 2) The outer frame story is when Ninny was telling Evelyn about her story and it includes everything that was going on between Evelyn and her husband, and what Evelyn did for herself. The main characters are Ninny, Evelyn, Evelyn's husband. 3) The inner frame story is all the flash backs. The story about Idgie and Ruth, that is the inner frame story. The main characters are Idgie, Ruth, Big George, Frank Bennett, Sispys, Buddy, Buddy jr. 4) What is ironic about Frank Bennett's death is that Sipsy would be the last person you would expect to kill Frank Bennett, she is a simple black women that obeys orders. 5)I think my favorite vignette was the food fight in the kitchen with Idgie and Ruth. The way they described the food fight every last bit of the food being thrown! It was amazing! 6)Buddy's Death: Buddy was frantically running across the railroad to catch sweet Ruth's hat. He thought nothing could stop him, especially while he was trying to impress her. On the bridge above Idgie and Ruth watched carefully not taking their eyes off for a second. The hat blows in the wind moving father away from the bridge where Idgie and Ruth have not taken their eyes off of him. Standing above laughing suddley as Buddy runs another 10 feet to finally grab the hat off the tracks. What he does not realize is that where he stuck his foot, was in between the tracks. His foot would not budge one bit, he keep tugging and tugging at it. Finally he turned around and gave a small grin and a wave not expressing any worries. When he turned back around he continued to tug until.... he heard a train whistle and he began to worry and rush to get his foot out! He had on long black boots that tied up from the middle to the top and it would take a minute to get them untied. Buddy tired and tried to go as fast as a lion, but just as he was about to pull his foot out, the train crushed his helpless body and did not have a chance to be removed from the tracks. Idgie tired to run down to the train track in a frightful panic but the townsmen held her back and all the heard was he yelling " BUDDY!!"
