Growing up is how we develop throughout our lives, and there are certain characters and people that we get used to as we grow. There are those responsibilities that we take up as we grow too. In "High Noon," Fred Zimmerman creates a film that shows how people grow up differently and shows the existence of courage and lack of it among the people of Hadleyville, Kansas.

Frank arrives in time and meets his gang as was planned, and this forces Kane to hide and he picks the gang through a certain skill that he had learned. In order to pull out such levels of skill as was pulled by Kane, one must have grown up witty. This is proven through the fact that he had developed into the level of the town marshal, and even as he was leaving none
