So even though I wasn’t in class today, I watched the Roseanne episode on Youtube. I have seen this show a couple times in the past, but never really watched it that much. I actually enjoyed this episode though, the comedy was well done, and from what I hear that sticks around through the course of the show. After being in this class for over a month, my mind naturally wandered to how this show depicts the working class Americans. (I don’t know since I wasn’t there, but I’m sure this was prompted by you in class, so I think my mind was kind of thinking it was supposed to relate it to the class). This show relays how some families face a lot more struggles than others, in particular those in the lower working class. The challenges of getting by on a lower income can be stressful on all members of a family, from the working one/ones to the members that have to live off of less. This is also hard on kids. They see at school kids that have a lot of money and all the cool new gadgets, but they themselves don’t have these things. I’m from a family that has always been upper middle class, not wealthy, but we were pretty well off, so I can’t always relate, but I’m sure it’s not a fun feeling. This can cause tension in the home, as you saw in the episode of Roseanne, with the fighting and such between members of the family.
