Abstract:
In 1931, Paul Green was asked to change the ending of his play by the directors. The old ending involved the murder of one white former sharecropper by two black sharecroppers after she married the wealthy landowner, while the new ending would spare her life to create a positive image of rising above the class she was born into. This change was originally thought to have been made to cater to the ideology that one can rise about their rank to attain fortune. However, Vines argues that the original ending depicted the real tensions between the white and black populations of the South after reconstruction, and the new ending ignores these issues.

Abstract:
Throughout his life author Paul Green carried note cards in his pocket on which he would jot down words and phrases he remembered from his early years in Harnett County. The cards were filed and later became the basis of Paul Green's WORD BOOK: AN ALPHABET OF REMINISCENCE. From this his daughter Betsy Green Moyer, an expert photographer, has compiled the entries relating to flowers. Together with her co-editor, botanist Ken Moore, she has matched flower photographs with Green's comments. The result of the three-year project is Paul Green's PLANT BOOK: AN ALPHABET OF FLOWERS & FOLKLORE.
