Frankie and Johnny

The old folk song reminds me of a soap opera. The whole point of soap opera's is that we take a group of normal people and put them together so that they can have drama with each other. The drama is what keeps us wanting more of the show. Relating this back to Frankie and Johnny, they are normal people that were crazy in love with each other. In the beginning the assumed they had a truthful relationship till Johnny was caught with a girl by the name of Nellie Bly. The part where it said "Frankie took out the six shooters, She took out her old forty four her guns went a rooty-toot-a-toot-toot-a-toot-toot" meant that was hurt really bad. Perhaps it was just an expression how she felt, because on the next paragraph she says "Cause my wounds they hurt me so." Roughly after that episode it seems like Johnnie came back apologizing to her. After all that she has been through she took him back in the mist of him doing her wrong. Johnny eventually got old and died. She is definitely going to miss johnny, but in the other hand Johnny was the guy that did her wrong. Towards the end of the song it says "This story has not moral, this story has no end, Thisstory only goes to show that there ain't no good in men." I believe that she wrote this line out of anger and disappointment. In my words she is saying that her heart will continue to be broken because all me aren't good at all. she is emotionally hurt and have to live that way. This is the type of literature I like to read because it's humorous at times but also interesting. It grabs your attention from the beginning and then you don't want to stop reading till the end.
