Context
Emory is an effeminate fifth-grade boy who lives on a chicken farm with Nanna, his devoutly religious grandmother. Nanna is taking away Emory’s doll, Starlene, because boys aren’t supposed to play with dolls. Nanna, attached to an oxygen tank, explains to Emory that everyone has roles to play in life and boys have to be boys. The sensitive Emory tries to make sense of Nanna’s life lesson.

Start: Emory: I still don’t see why I can’t keep Starlene.
Nanna: See, we’ve all got roles in life, Emory. And it’s these roles that keep order. Like you’re my grandson and I’m your Nanna. That’s how we know each other. Now, if people didn’t play the roles that God gave ‘em, then what would happen?
[... ...]
End: Nanna: Now I’m all worn out. Emory, I don’t feel so good. I think I better go and lie down. Will you finish feeding the chickens?
Emory: Sure.
