3.2.5 Verbena Wheeler
Verbena is a woman who has a thin lip with a grey curled hair. She is a religious person and distaste nonsense. She is a proud with her self, because she
knows all about Injil. It can be seen from the quotation below:
“Verbena, wanita berbibir tipis-rapat dengan rambut abu - abu yang dikeriting kecil – kecil
disalon, adalah umat Gereja Tuhan Pantekosta yang taat, tak suka omong kosong, sejenis kepribadian
“Saya ini pelahap Injil, dan saya bangga karenanya” yang dapat mengutip ayat – ayat Al-
kitab yang tepat untuk setiap peristiwa.” The day I die, Fannie Flagg, p.29
Verbena likes to advise her neighbour that does anomaly towards religion. But the result is not good. She gets coarse treatment and even snap at her to
administer her own affair. Verbena gets lesson from it. It makes her not to talk more concerns about religious person. And she wants to get in touch with her
neighbours.
3.2.6 Luther Griggs
Luther Griggs is not a suitable friend for old woman, but Elner is close person for Luther in this world. It can be seen from the quotation below:
“Luther bukan sejenis teman yang pantas bagi wanita tua berusia delapan puluh sekian, tetapi bagi
luther, nona Elner adalah orang terdekat di seluruh dunia.” The day I die, Fannie Flagg, p.114

Luther is always suspicious to every person that kind to him, even less after he makes mistakes. It can be seen from the quotation below:
“Luther menyipitkan mata dan mengira – ngira, apa sebenarnya maksud wanita tua itu. Dia selalu
curiga pada siapa saja yang bersikap baik padanya. Luther melempari kucing wanita ini dengan batu,
jadi mungkin saja si nenek bermaksud memancingnya agar mendekat supaya bisa
dipukul.” The day I die, Fannie Flagg, p.116
3.2.7 Dena Nordstrom O’Malley
Dena is a woman who gives top priority for her career, and she always chases success and money. She never thinks that there is something else more
important from it and a woman that live in a simple situation and feels satisfied with the live. It can be seen from the quotation below:
“Sebelum Dena jatuh sakit, prioritas utamanya selalu kariernya, maju terus ke depan, mengejar
kesuksesan dan uang. Tak pernah masuk dalam benaknya bahwa ada hal lain yang lebih penting,
dan bahwa seorang perempuan yang hidup dalam situasi paling sederhana dan kelihatan puas dengan
hidupnya itu jelas akan menjadi teka – teki rumit bagi Dena.” The day I die, Fannie Flagg, p.184
Elner is the first person who opens Dena eyes; make her see a little matter truthfully outspread at in front of her. She looks all of the little things because she
is not ever to stop sufficiently. It can be seen from the quotation below:
“Bibi Elner adalah orang pertama yang membuka matanya, membuatnya melihat hal – hal kecil yang
sesungguhnya terhampar di depannya, semua hal kecil yang gagal dilihatnya karena dia tak pernah
berhenti cukup lama untuk menyadarinya.” The day I die Novel, Fannie Flagg, p.186
