Author's Note

I think the added ending did the trick with this story. Otherwise, it's a bore on the big screen. However, a lot of the elements included in Wright's short-story served it's purpose in heightening the suspense. I especially enjoyed reading flawlessly from scene to scene, with no pause. There is always something going on leading to the story's grand finale.

It is also to be assumed that the days look gloomy and the nights are murky, to capture the essence of the dark story. The characters suggested for casting helps the movie stay credible, and to avoid typecast actors. I believe in Crawford to voice a 1920's african american from the south sensationally. Tisha Campbell-Martin was in Zack and Miri Make a Porno but what made her scenes memorable was her sternness. It can be used for comedy, but it can be done for dramatic purposes as well.

This is my 2nd draft if I count revisions. I just sat here at my computer for a good three hours, read the story again (and probably more considering all the lines I referenced), and went to work, from beginning of the story to the end, and the juicy middle includes plot, symbolism, conflict, (tremendous) irony, vivid settings, and my boring explanation for the name change :)
