Blood Brothers Essay

The first person I am going to blame for this is Mrs Johnstone because she shouldn’t have risked having more children if she knew that she would only just “manage with one more mouth to feed.” Also she should have known that twins was possible and if she didn’t risk it she wouldn’t of had to give any of her children away.

The second person I am going to blame is the gynaecologist (narrator) because I think he knew that it was going to be twins because he all of a sudden he gave up the milk round and became a doctor. Also I didn’t think he wasn’t a proper doctor because he uses slang like “lets have a listen to the baby’s ticker” where as a proper doctor probably would have said “lets listen to the baby’s heart beat shall we.”

Thirdly I am going to blame Mr Johnstone because if he didn’t leave Mrs Johnstone she probably would have been able to “scrape by” with one more mouth to feed. That way she wouldn’t of had to give one of her baby’s away to Mrs Lyons.

Fourthly I am going to blame the government because they never helped her by giving her benefits when she needed it. If the government gave her money she wouldn’t be saying “if I’m careful I can just scrape by.”

 Finally I am going to blame Mrs Lyons because when she found out about there being twins she could have given Mrs Johnstone a raise or found her a better job with better pay instead of persuading her to get rid of one by saying “give one to me.”

In conclusion I think that Mrs Lyons and the government are mostly to blame because they could have helped her out with money until she got a proper job with a decent wage.
