Tammy Crabtree, 42, lives in a dilapidated trailer with her four teenage kids. Although she's off welfare after 18 years, her job cleaning bathrooms at a local Burger King requires her to walk ten miles a day to and from work. Called "trash" by her neighbors, Tammy also has to contend with the preppie aspirations of her 16 year old son Matt, who doesn't want to be seen with her and has designs of becoming a lawyer, although even he seems to sense the limitations that await him.
How realistic is Matt's belief that he is "Classier" than his mother and brother? Realistically, what do you think are Matt's chances of achieving his life goals? What are the obstacles in his path to achievement? If you don't think either mother or son will "make it", how do you reconcile that opinion with the American belief that hard work is always rewarde with success? If the Crabtrees were to meet Ginie Sayles could her formula help them rise in class?
