Even though they tried to keep to themselves the Duvich kids were harassed in school. “Before she could put a stop to it, some of their classmates scoffed at the leaf, lard and black bread sandwiches they ate for lunch, huddled
They were not like the other kids in their grade. They “spoke only when spoken to” (Flack, 4) and they were regarded as “born scavengers too, for they spent hours foraging in the town dump.” (Flack, 4) This gave their peers a strange feeling towards them. Furthermore, the kids were also teased for other reason and “some of their classmates scoffed at the leaf, lard and black bread sandwiches they ate for lunch, huddled in one corner of the recreation room, dressed in their boiled-out ragpickers’ clothes. After school they headed straight for home, never lingering on the playground.” (Flack, 4) The Duvitch children were different from the rest, they would do certain things that were unlike the rest of the boys and girls and they were not accepted because of this. Towards the end of the story, during the dinner with Andy’s family, Andy began to realize the children’s real personalities.
Firstly, the school kids mocked and harassed the Duvich kids. “Before she could put a stop to it, some of their classmates scoffed at the leaf, lard and black bread sandwiches they ate for lunch, huddled in one corner of the recreation room, dressed in their boiled-out ragpickers’ clothes. After school they headed straight for home, never lingering on the playground.”(4) This showed that even though they tried to keep to
His father didn’t tell him why they were there, what they had done to the country and who they were. Because none of this was explained to Bruno he had just thought they were normal people and he wanted to be with other children so badly. Bruno is always curious and that causes him to find Shmuel. Because Bruno’s Mother and Father did not tell him about Jews and what is really happening in the camp, and also Shmuel wouldn’t tell him because he wanted a friend and he wanted decent food. Bruno’s Mother telling Bruno not to go into the back yard is only tempting him to go in there, and when he does get caught in there he hardly gets in trouble, so he thinks if he keeps going in mother isn’t going to care.
Roberto and his family worked together as one. As they struggled to have food in their bellies, they also struggled with gaining warmth and a roof over their heads. He would go barefoot to school and the anglo kids would laugh at him for eating frijoles and tortillas. Always on the outskirts of town they struggled with staying clean. “Here comes the carnival,” they’d say.
However although Arthur Birling’s earlier life is not mentioned in the play it is clear to the audience that Mr.Birling is not a member of the higher class because of his family, but simply through work and the money he has received.Differences in social class is also shown when Mr Birling says '' Giving us the port, Edna?'' it is evident from this quote that the higher class have little/no respect for the working class Mr birling is also known to be demanding as from the quote he does not ask for the port he instructs the maid to do so. The theme of social class is also shown through the character of Sheila. Sheila is a character whom takes advantage of the social standing which she holds and thinks, because of this, she has power over lower classes. This is shown in Act One when she recalls being in a “furious temper” when she was in the department store Milwards, she informs the inspector of the scene where she apparently saw Eva Smith smiling when Sheila tried on a dress.
As well as to why his mother is acting so differently. As he starts to enter the adolescent stage of identity vs. role confusion, he notices he does not have anyone to turn to. Kids at school are picking on him, abusing him, and teachers have done nothing but call his parents when he gets caught stealing food. He doesn’t have an inspiration. His own brothers begin to take the role of his mother treating him like dirt.
As it says in the story, the narrator is not enthusiastic about the blind man coming and it really bothered him that he was blind: “[Robert] didn’t use a cane and he didn’t wear dark glasses: “I’d always thought dark glasses were a must for the blind. Fact was, I’d wish he had a pair” (Carver 24). When Robert comes in the house, the reader can tell the narrator was not excited about his arrival and his wife instantly disapproves of his attitude toward the man. They are introduced to each other and Robert refers to the narrator as “Bub” like a nickname. The narrator says, “Then I wanted to say something else, small-talk, about the scenic ride along the Hudson.
Throughout the activity, no one in authority seems to know where the transportation is or when the transportation will arrive to take the population to the shelter. Throughout the learning activity, there were other problems which held up the evacuation. For example, some of the population are afraid of the police.

This new and different discovery was weird for them to see because in their community they do not age. Lenina and Bernard also watched a community celebration that involved a man whipping himself. Lenina, so horrified from what she saw, reached into her pocket to use some soma but realized that she left it at the rest-house. She is so confused and terrified that Lenina starts to panic. “Lenina was left to face the horrors of Malpais unaided” (111).
