The next time that the two girls were teased by their parents, Elsie challenged her father, telling him that if he lent them his camera, a Midg quarter plate, the two girls would try to take a photograph of one of the fairies. While Arthur, Elsie's father, wasn't happy about it, after being pestered by his wife and daughter, he eventually gave in.

'Elsie had already prepared her fairy figures when no one was about,' says Frances in her book.

Even though the music was dominating through their ears and the gossip was flowing through their mouths, food is what is keeping everyone happy, smiling, and enjoying each other’s company. Some of the characters do not even want to leave the party without taking just one last bite of food from the Chinese buffet. Importantly and additionally, it is here at the dance where the love of two girls, Vivian and Wil, begins to flourish. The next scene where food is a dominating source of love and affection is when the mother fixes Chinese food for her daughter during meal times.

In this essay I will look at how the characters Sheila and Arthur Birling change over the course of the play, and how the generation gap affects this. These characters have been chosen because they, in my opinion, differ the most out of any two characters in the play. I will firstly look at how Sheila is portrayed when we first meet her at the start of the play. In the first act the Birling family is having dinner to celebrate Sheila marrying Gerald Croft, a lucrative decision for both of the families. Sheila is shown as sarcastic and playful when she says “(with mock aggressiveness) Go on Gerald- just you object!” This sentence implies that Sheila likes to joke around with Gerald, which was actually in contrast to how women were supposed to act in that period, showing early on that she is also quite rebellious.
It is well known mostly because of its pungent smell. There is a rumor about how to make a clean break with your girlfriend, who refuses to give up her relationship with you no matter how hard you try to convince her. You just need to eat raw shrimp sauce before you kiss her, then the devastating impression of the kiss will overshadow all the remaining romantic thoughts in her mind. That might be only a joke, but the story about how a friend of me used the aroma of shrimp sauce to get a house was told to be true. In San Jose, at a quiet, airy house near Story road, that forty year old talkative guy had been keeping a covetous eye on the house next door, which belonged to a young American couple and was a nice home that he really wanted to get for his mother.
