Gathering the evil in the American pastoral

A cigarette in the middle of the night
turned red and made a creaking sound. A wisp
of white smoke came out and let out a
long sigh So inadvertently , I got goosebumps before I even reacted. During the whole process, I felt that there was something on the top of my head pulling my scalp and my whole soul was lifted up. I wonder why people always do evil things when they do evil things. Things that seem so natural do n't seem to need any reason . The calm and natural nature of Gertrude's perverted violence is the most unacceptable part of the whole story. There is also that little brat who is talking to Searle . The pleasure in Via's abuse, the longing in his eyes is so ticklish , and the indifference and timidity shown by those involved in the abuse and those who ignore the incident is equally unacceptable. Because of my personal love for the main character ellen page, I can't stand those sick plots in the film. Damn it for gathering American-style sins

An American Crime quotes

  • Gertrude Baniszewski: You know what it's like to be sick, Sylvia. I've been sick for so long, too. I can't... discipline my kids they was I should. I punish them I know, but... sometimes with my medicine I gets so I don't know what I'm doing.

    [begins to cry]

    Gertrude Baniszewski: And I care for them so much. Paula, the thing is... Paula's a lot like me. I had her when I was just about your age. Then Stephanie. Then all the others. Then John left... And here I am on medicine, doing whatever I can to keep my family together. I want something better for Paula... There has to be something better... And I need to protect my children...

    [cries]

    Gertrude Baniszewski: Do you understand that? You kids... you're all I've got... Thank you, Sylvia. Thank you for understanding, thank you.

  • Sylvia Likens: She sacrificed me to protect her children, and she sacrificed her children to protect herself.
