Dead Man Walking: Menu

Appetizer: Deviled Eggs 
This is a little bit of a stretch.  I chose to do deviled eggs as my appetizer because it has the name devil in them.  In the bible, a devil is an evil person and the ruler of hell.  Since hell is where bad people go when they die having deviled eggs would make sense. Deviled Eggs


Drink: Water
My guests are drinking water because in prison the inmates are only allowed to drink water.  Also in the movie in almost every scene where Helen and Matthew are together Matthew is drinking water. Water

                                                 


Entre: Shrimp, Potatoes, Oysters, Corn
This was Matthew Poncelet's last meal in the movie. Shrimp Meal.       

Entre 2: Ramen Noodles
Ramen noodles are a typical food eaten by inmates that are in prison. I thought it would be a good thing to include because it is a prison party. Ramen Noodles



Desert: Chess Pie 
Sister Helen brought a pie to the families of the victims.  Chess Pie

He is on death row for the murder of a teenage boy and the rape and murder of a teenage girl.  He is sentenced and eventually put to death in the film.  The family of the teenagers that he killed takes the death of their children very hard (as any person would). The movie shows how badly they want him to die.  And also how badly other people want him to die.  This is important in the movie because although Matthew Poncelet did a very b...
