"As George and Ernest Aids watched from the witness chamber, Jesse settled back in his seat and was strapped in, looking more like a man flying first class on a dream vacation than a condemned man riding a thunderbolt to hell."
This quote to me showed a really explicit image of the contradiction of what Jesse's emotions should be and what they actually were. The onlookers saw Jesse as calm and collected and thought that he should be conveying the exact opposite emotions as he is being put to death. The flower in this photograph represents life or hope among the lack of hope. This flower grows even in the harsh conditions in the desert. It finds a way to survive even though everything around it does not. I feel like Jesse is like the flower in the desert. He is finding a way to be hopeful and obedient to what his fate is.
