situations within FRIED GREEN TOMATOES Human Nature, it’s our instinct, our reaction, our thoughts, and our ability to make decisions. It has been examined from every conceivable angle.

Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-Stop Cafe My first impression of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café was that it was a “woman’s'; novel. This was because the movie, which was more popular than the book, was advertised as a “chick flick';. To say the least, I was wrong. The novel poses many issues that face the people of the 1920’s and 30’s, and makes one think about what people have struggled through. The novel addresses the issue of racism before the time of Martin
Fried Green Tomatoes at Whistle Stop Cafe: Novel vs. Movie “I may be sitting at the Rose Terrace Nursing Home, but in my mind I’m over at the Whistle Stop Cafe having a plate of Fried Green Tomatoes” (Flagg ). Both the novel and the movie received a number of great reviews and honors. However, the two vary greatly in content. The novel, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, brings the reader a much more detailed and very different story compared to the movie. For example, the character
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, a 1987 novel by Fannie Flagg was the basis for the movie by the same [slightly shorther] name. When Evelyn Couch visits a nursing home, she befriends Ninny Threadgoode who tells of a story from her childhood of Ruth and Idgie, two very good “friends”.

On July 4th 1985, over 300 Californians became sick after eating watermelons treated with the pesticide tenik. Testing supermarket produce is a way of determining the amount of exposure the consumer receives through common produce like carrots, tomatoes and lettuce. 44% of foods that were tested in supermarkets were found to have some traces of pesticide residue on them. Of all the pesticides found, nineteen of them were a pesticide called DDT. DDT was banned in this country 12 years prior to the
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, one of my finest works. Who am I? I am the author Fannie Flagg. I’ve been writing since the fifth grade, when I wrote, produced, directed and starred in a three-act comedy titled “The Whopee Girls”. It made the audience laugh, but it got me expelled because it had the word “martini” in it. I’ve always had dry wit. I then entered a Miss Alabama contest winning a scholarship to the Pittsburg Playhouse. I was the only girl who failed ballet. When I was
called it Tenochtitlan. In the the capital city aqueducts (piping) were constructed, bridges were built, and chinapas were made. Chinapas were little islands formed by pilled up mud. On these chinapas Aztecs grew corn, beans, chili peppers, squash, tomatoes, and tobacco. Tenochtitlan (the capital city) was covered in giant religious statues in order to pay their respects to the gods. In the Aztec religion numerous gods controlled an Aztec’s daily life. Some of these gods include: Uitzilpochtli (the
gleaming red tomatoes, juicy melons, fresh potatoes, and a plethora of other vegetables and fruits and gather whatever captures one's fancy or appetite. A person living in a Westernized culture often takes for granted the hard work, resource usage, and waste that occurs to bring food to him. Tomatoes, for example, currently follow a long and difficult route to the supermarket. To begin with, field workers must pick the tomatoes by hand while they are still green. The unripe tomatoes are then trucked

Abuse is a subject that should be considered important. There are about 960,000 abuse incidents reported annually. 85% of them are reported by women. The resting 15% are reported by men. In Fried Green Tomatoes, abuse is a recurring part of the book, Fannie Flagg does an admirable job in describing in detail the abuse incidents that happen throughout the book. Ruth is a character that receives abuse from her husband, she believes she deserves everything he does to her, even push her down the stairs

Tomatoes were first introduced to Europe from Central or South America in the early 16th century, when conquistadors were thought to have brought them back from their travels. Ironically the tomatoes were originally thought to be poisonous, but the red fruit soon found its way into the diets of many Europeans, especially the lower
they read. They want to feel a sense of escape from life’s struggles by reading, and also a sense of solidarity with the characters and real-life people who share their positive traits. These positive traits that readers want abound in Fried Green Tomatoes, from characters of all sorts and creeds, so why a sex scene became so necessary for many critics is baffling. Ruth, Idgie, Evelyn and other characters in the text seek love, acceptance, and to understand themselves in all the ways that those things
A Lesbian's Perspective of Fried Green Tomatoes Last week my mother and I decided to rent a "woman's film," Fried Green Tomatoes. We sat mesmerized for 1 hour and 45 minutes by the narrative played out upon our small screen. However, as I realized by our discussion after the film, we had two very different experiences. While she enjoyed the film as a story about two "best friends," I read this friendship as an obvious lesbian relationship hidden within the repressed text of a popular, commercial
Fried Green Tomatoes, a story about something or whatever, regarding friendship, and what not, somewhere in a southern American small town, whilst focusing on the lives of four women of the past and present is a tale nonetheless that just so happens to exemplify many elements of southern gothic literature. Stemming as an example of such within the story, elements such as freakishness, imprisonment, violence, and outsider are very apparent as they are peppered all throughout making it quite evident
