Trying To Turn Things Around
You can’t mention Clyde’s history without mentioning the one time he tried to redo his life by starting a job at a glass factory in Dallas. While there, he faced constant harassment from police, which in turn upset his employer, and resulted in him being laid off. There’s just no winning for some guys.
As with most ex-cons, the long arm of the law makes it nearly impossible to start over, even if you’re looking to lead a clean and honest life. This was the case for Clyde, but experts doubt whether an ordinary life would have sustained him for long enough to keep him out of trouble.
Bonnie The Intellectual?
It’s slightly strange that Bonnie ended up living a life of crime, when she was an honors student at high school and well known as someone who had major aspirations. While her short-term goal was to become an actress, she had a knack for putting pen to paper and this talent would go unnoticed for years at first. In one of her final pieces of writing, Bonnie penned a poem titled “The Story of Bonnie and Clyde”. It would eventually be published posthumously around the country, and the rest as you might say, is history.
