As a matter of fact, if one was different, they are shunned by society. In a perfect world, people would rejoice in each one another's happiness, but this isnt a perfect world; nor was it in the 1930 s. The Southern states were an area of archaic, imported romanticism (Erisman, p. 1). People of t...
