Betty & Spencer

Betty was not happy in her marriage to Spencer. It was nothing like she dreamed it would be. She wanted to have a man love and support her emotionally, financially, and physically. Spencer was not the right man to do this. She talked with her mother about her feelings. Her mom told her that she could not come and stay with them. This is because she herself was not happy in her marriage. Her mom was raised that you stand by your man no matter what. I think that she was kinda jealous of Betty because she had the nerve to go against Spencer.

Katherine was subversive

The school thought that Katherine was subversive. According to the dictionary, it means tending or intending to overthrow, destroy, or undermine an established or existing system. This is very far from what she was intending to do. Katherine saw a lot of potential in the girls. They had an eagerness to learn things and she was ready and willing to teach them. Not only was she teaching them what the school wanted she was adding her own twist on thing. I feel like if we had more teachers like her we could learn more.
