                All this week in English class we've been watching a movie called "The Glass Menagerie". The story we are also reading is called "The Glass Menagerie". It's about a family living in the 30's. A mother named Amanda, A brother named Tom and a sister named Laura. They live in poverty. The brother is the only one bring home any income. He works in a warehouse and makes about 65 dollars a month. Amanda wants Tom to find his sister Laura a man because she feels Laura is going to alone because she is very shy and not doing anything about her life. Laura is crippled. She walks with a limp. She's in her early 20's. But back than you get married or you had a name for yourself. Tom does bring a man home for Laura. She even knows him from High School. His name is Jim. Laura had a big crush on him in High School. But come to find out he has another lady friend named Betty. Laura was upset. I believe that Amanda the mother is afraid of what her children will become when she dies. I really liked the movie. It was a short movie. The book was the same way. Now we have to write an essay about it. This would be very interesting.
