How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I knew the real reason for Dad's anxiety. They relied on my wages. (1.65)
Lou comes from a working-class background, so there's a lot of pressure on her to support her family. This causes a great deal of tension at times—tension that the Traynors have never really had to deal with.
Quote #2
She was wearing a trouser suit that I guessed cost more than my dad earned in a month. (2.21)
We wouldn't be surprised. The Traynor family couldn't be more different from the Clark family, and we see their respective classes play a big role in their differences.
Quote #3
In our street "posh" could mean anyone who didn't have a family member in possession of an antisocial behavior order. (2.101)
Here's a truth bomb for you, Lou—there's plenty of rich folks with mental issues. Just look at the Traynor family, right? If we were feeling like armchair psychologists, we'd be diagnosing those suckers left and right; everyone has their struggles.
