The Green Family

Beca Green in the Kitchen, originally uploaded by macthekat.

Another working class family living in this street is the Greens. Here is Beca preparing dinner in their small kitchen. Behind their appartment they are lucky enough to have a small garden witch they use to produce vegetables in.

Then Scott comes home from a long day at the factory he has another job to do. The sink in the bathroom is broken and he has to fix it.

Scott had an early shift at the factory so they eat their dinner together today. Dolly and Beca has both been home all day working. Beca has been producing pot holders and Dolly has worked in the garden farming a little extra free food for the family.

I have used Inger Jones’ fexi school hack to make it possible for the working class teen girls not to go to school to give them time to help out at home. I also think this make it more realistic as many working class teens did not go to school after their 14th birthday. Young Anna do still go to school and will stay there at least for the next few years.

After dinner Scott plays the violine while young Anna plays on the floor in front of the fire and the older women in the family reads the paper or a novel
