Q

How does your character react to their feelings about their family?

A

She’s always trying to participate in family activities — for example, the plays that her sister Jo (we stan our lesbian queen 🏳️‍🌈) writes. She lashes out at her sisters when criticized or insulted, and is very dramatic about it for attention.

Q

How would your character react to finding out that they have lost money and now cannot buy any luxuries so they can have enough to buy food?

A

She would probably throw a temper tantrum. If she didn’t do that, she would excuse herself and go cry about it in her room alone. Either way, she’d be very upset because now she can’t have as nice things as the other girls.

At least you don’t have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don’t know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses and label your father if he isn’t rich.

31
Q

A

Beth.

32
Q

What is the line before Line 3?

It’s not a threat, but I think washing dishes and keeping things tidy…it fell to Beth to be the homemaker of the family, but if she complained this once, it was a rarity.

Jo.

34

If you mean libel, I’d say so, and not talk about labels as if Papa was a pickle bottle.

Q

What is Line 4?

A

I know what I mean, and you needn’t be satirical about it! 12 year old Amy was the baby of the family, and she really did her best at school, but she was better at drawing than at vocabulary, and her schoolmasters always complained that she filled her primers with pictures of clouds and rabbits.

40

Beth.

44

What is the line after Line 4?

A

The clock struck six, having swept up in the hearth…everyone brightened to welcome her.
