The movie Thelma and Louise show how a simple chain reaction can change even the kindest of people, and the rest of their lives. Thelma was a simple housewife that was invited for a simple get away by her good friend Louise. Even though Thelma knew she wouldn’t have permission by her husband, she went along anyway from peer pressure. The two girls started out excited, then they became scared after the murder, but Thelma and Louise came to peace to it then started doing more bad while enjoying it.
Thelma wasn’t too sure about going because she didn’t want to upset her husband, but after she thought about it, she didn’t care. Thelma had had enough of her husband and decided to go against his word and go with Louise to the mountains. She was then in a state of freedom and happiness, and felt like she could do anything and just wanted to have fun; of course Louise felt the same way as it was her idea. The two figured they’d stop at a bar to have a little break, and Thelma wanted to have fun. After a few drinks in them, they went dancing with some odd cowboys, which was a big mistake for Thelma.
She ended up getting raped outside. Thelma was devastated and scared, but the cowboy didn’t get too far with her luckily, because Louise came in with a gun to help. Unfortunately some things were said from the cowboy that set her off, and Louise put a . 38 in his heart, not meaning to kill him though. Thelma was terrified and hating her body after all of this. Louise was scared as well, but not for her dignity and well being, but because she didn’t want to go to prison. Louise said they couldn’t go back and couldn’t go to the mountains; they needed to run off to Mexico and to start a new life.
The Essay on My Ex Husband
In the poem “My Ex-Husband” by Gabriel Spera the main character displays hate for her husband, which in time reveals her love for him. The hateful tone in the poem contributes to the fact that she dislikes her husband, but at the same time she is stuck in the past, which keeps her from moving on. The first two lines of the poem introduce us to the a picture of her ex husband: “Thats my ex-husband ...
Louise had this plan all along and was all for it, but Thelma was still shaky on the idea, maybe because she didn’t commit the murder, we will never know. After they meet up with DJ, Brad Pitt, Thelma gets herself back together and wants to start having fun again. Louise at this point is just scared to be caught and doesn’t want to take any chances. DJ steals all the money that Jimmy brought to Louise and she wants to give up, but Thelma is strong again and believes in them so she has them keep driving.
Now this is where Thelma grows some balls and robs a store at gun point to get all that money back. With a big crime under each one of their belts they were all for going to Mexico. With all this confidence they wouldn’t let anything get in their way; a police officer tried arresting Louise after he took her ID, but Thelma came over to the car and held the cop at gun point and put him in the trunk of his own cruiser, and they were off again. They had full potential now with no one after them; but soon there were dozens of police cars and helicopters after them.
They didn’t want to be turned in and go to jail; they knew it would ruin them. So they held hands and drove off into the Grand Canyon, ending the movie happy with their decisions. Thelma and Louise constantly changed roles as who was the badass, but in the end they both ended liking who they were and being in charge. The two started out as happy campers, literally, then things went bad to worse but Thelma and Louise felt like they came out on top by not getting caught and living a fugitive life.
