... happy with her Janie's next husband, Joe Starks was very nice to her and gave her everything she wanted.

... starts out with her wanting to make a white cake. However, even though the movie and the story differ to a certain extent, they both have the two jiltings that happen to Granny Weatherall. The first one happens when Granny Weatherall is on her deathbed surrounded by her children, the doctor and priest. When a memory of 60 years ago, the day she was jilted by her husband-to-be, could no longer be repressed by Granny Weatherall—“the thought of him was a smoky cloud from hell that moved and crept in her head . . ..” The second one is when the final sign she has been waiting for from Jesus never appears. “For a second time there was no sign.

... is weight on his mind and a white name. As you may have notice, pride is one of the most important theme in The Crucible. The main character of the play is John Proctor. Back in time, he had an affair with Abigail Williams and what seemed to be some kind of little detail ends up being the main cause of the accusation charged against his wife, Elizabeth Proctor.

... of the things they do. Mr. Cunningham showed up at the jail for Tom Robinson's lynching. After the lynching Mr. Cunningham does not seem very prejudice as he did before.

Mr. Ewell spit in Atticus's face at the court house. After Tom was dead Mr. Ewell told Mrs. Robinson that she couldn't walk down the street anymore. "You Niger Lover."

He tries to rectify his failing out of school by leaving, which he views as an adult act. Holden's leaving school represents his need for independence and he achieves this by leaving. Another of Holden's failed attempts at adulthood is when he goes down to he hotels club where he orders an alcoholic drink, but he is refused because the waiter will not serve him because he is underage.
