Gentry's language and imagery is colorful and particular.The other theme is darker, and illustrates the indifference we often show towards the loss of human life.The narrator's family talks about a young man's suicide with striking nonchalance, perhaps best illustrated by the father's line, "well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense/ pass the biscuits, please."

I will use the latter spelling for simplicity's sake.Choctaw Ridge, Carroll County, Tupelo, and the Tallahatchie Bridge all exist in real life.
