Boys Don't Cry

The violence that occurs at the end was due to ignorance. Tom,  John and Lana's mother are stuck in a cave and to me they are the ones who are responsible for Brandon's death. Tom, Jon, and Lana's mother are so stuck in their close minded ways and their surrounding could have been an influence. The fact that their community has nothing better to do but smoke and  drink and even Lana's mother, as an adult, is just as  immature as the others. I do know that Jon and Tom are the ones who killed Brandon but Lana's mother told them where they could find her knowing what they planed to kill Brandon. Tom, Jon and Lana's mother are the ones who are afraid to see the light. Brandon and Lana expressed their true feelings and their true sides to one another. Brandon and Lana saw the light eventually but was chained along with the rest of them. Brandon and Lana were not as close minded as the others even though they grew up in the same town and same type of town as Tom, Jon and Lana's mother. Even Candace who grew up in the same boring gross town was able to look past it all and help Brandon when he was in need.
Brandon, Lana and Candace seek the light and were not afraid and stuck anymore. Tom,Jon and Lana's mother are stuck in the cage and will always be to afraid to seek the light
