Midnight in the garden of good and evil
Categorize and lumping characters together from the movie The most obvious lumping of characters is seen at the beginning of the movie. They are people who are considered as the town crazies. The two characters that fit this category the best would be Mr. Glover and Luther Driggers. Mr. Glover is seen walking Mr. Bowen’s dog, Patrick, in compliance with his will. Patrick the dog had died 2 years after Mr. Bowen passed away. Every morning, Mr. Glover is walking with just a leash, every morning. But everyone in town that sees’s Mr. Bowen walking through the town knows that he is walking Patrick, so he would get paid 15 dollars every week as according to the will. The second person would be Luther Driggers. Luther is the older man that takes part in the jury during the trial. He is seen at the restaurant scene when he walks in with horseflies that are tied to strings that are attached to his sweater and also a brown vial that contains a poison that can kill the whole entire county. After the first day of the trial, Luther was ordered by the judge to leave his horseflies and the vial at home. The second sets of people that can be lumped together are considered to be free spirits. The two characters that can be placed in this category would be Mandy Nichols and Lady Chablis Deveau. They are both free spirited female characters that follow their own sets of rules. Another similarity between the two characters, they enjoy being up on the stage and entertaining. Mandy Nichols is seen with Joe Odom at the club singing on stage when John Kelso was walking in. Lady Chablis is a comedian that works at the Pick up on Congress where she does stand up. They both enjoy having a good time. Mandy takes John to a party after knocking on his door to borrow some ice. She then takes him to a get together that Joe Odom was throwing with a bunch of people at a house that he is looking after. And Lady Chablis ends up crashing a cotillion that is being thrown by Alpha

After a short stay, Elie and his father are transported to Auschwitz, Buna, and eventually Birkenau. They meet many others in the concentration camps.

    Through his narrator in East of Eden, John Steinbeck says that there is only "one story in the world", that of good and evil (Steinbeck 412).

    It was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who famously said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”. There was a deep-seated irrational fear in Lake County, Florida in 1949 four black boys accused of raping a 17-year-old girl.

And with the influential but extremely courageous help of the NAACP, especially Thurgood Marshall, some fought back. Gilbert Kings Novel, The Devil in the Grove, tells the story of a rather suspenseful tragic time for our Nation that should never be forgotten or repeated.

    This movie is unique because it takes place with the same setting throughout and yet the characters are so well developed. The character development and perceptions have a vital role in the underlying message and theme of the movie. Claire is the “princess.” She is the rich, well-to-do, pretty and popular girl. Andrew is the “athlete.” He is the state wrestler and jock that appears to be tough and strong. Then, Brian Johnson, “the brain” is the peaceful smart guy who fears making poor grades. The “basket case” is Allison Reynolds. She speaks seldom and has a bizarre style. Lastly, the rebel is John Bender. He is “the criminal” who seeks opposition. He is a bully with an insubordinate attitude towards the principal, Richard Vernon.…

During this time, many Amish youth adhere to traditional Amish behavior. Others, however, experiment with “worldly” activities (2014).
