She wanted to be well-known; for everyone to know her name. With some help from another individual, she reached that goal. However, not in a way many people would expect. This was the head of Bonnie Parker’s life. She had a strong lead in school, but a hard, dishonest relationship with her love afterwards. This lead to a frenzy of murders and robberies, including the Bloody Frolic of 1932. If her life was not cut so short, she could have done much more damage. Bonnie Parker was the female half of a notorious couple.
Bonnie was born in 1910 and raised in Rowena, Texas (Jarrell 1). She grew up on her grandmother´s farm, close to a dingy town called Cement City (Cartwright 4). Her reddish-gold hair and blue eyes fit her generous …show more content…
When Bonnie met Clyde, she had no idea he was wanted for robberies in several places at the time. She brought him home to see her mother and help them get to know each other. It wasn’t long before the cops came and took Clyde away. Bonnie’s reaction to this turn of events was very alarming. She screamed, burst into tears, and grasped on to her mother. Continuously, she begged to the police to let him free. “I thought she was going crazy,” Mrs. Parker said. The persistent men ignored her, and left her sobbing on the floor. During Clyde’s time in jail, Bonnie visited and wrote him emotional letters. One of her messages said, “I know you are good and I know you can be good… This outside world is a swell place, and we are young and should be happy like other boys and girls instead of being like we are.” Following his release, Bonnie committed her initial criminal act. It took place in the Waco Jail, where she sneaked a handgun for Clyde to use as an escape instrument. Subsequent to that event, was the robbery of a hardware shop in Kaufman. She was not the only burglar because she joined Clyde and Ralph Fults on that mission. It resulted in fleeing from a watchman in a stolen car and then by foot. Suddenly, it all went downhill when Bonnie got captured shortly after her getaway. She had to spend a night in a filthy prison in Kemp. Then, Bonnie moved to a cell in Kaufman, where she wrote her first poem, “The Story of Suicide Sal” (Cartwright 5). When she was free, she spent most of her time at home with Clyde’s family (Cartwright 6). Other offenses and events also occurred in the next few years. From 1932 to 1934, Bonnie and Clyde indulged in a bloody frolic through eight states, killing fifteen people after robbing a dozen businesses. Throughout this gambol, Bonnie’s leg was badly burned in the summer of 1933, when
