Prompt 1

I think that the most important character we have met so far is Mrs. Threadgoode. Although she mostly talks about Idgie, she is the one telling the story. Without her we wouldn't know anything about Idgie. Evelyn doesn't know anything about Idgie's story until Mrs. Threadgoode starts talking to her about it. On page 12 it says, "She was a character all right, but how anybody ever could have thought that she killed that man is beyond me." This is when Mrs. Threadgoode first mentions Idgie to Evelyn. Evelyn would have never known people thought that Idgie had killed Cleo. Mrs. Threadgoode goes on to basically tell us Idgie's life story. "Some people thought it started the day she mat Ruth, but I think it started that Sunday dinner..." This is how Mrs. Threadgoode starts explaining how Idgie came to be the way she was. It's very important that she tells us this because it helps us to decide it we think she actually killed Cleo.
