Chose three settings from Our Day Out and write about what they represent?
The Streets
The street is a typical terraced housing inner city street. It has no gardens or any other attractive features such as flowerbeds, trees or flowers. The street is a very poor street which can be shown by the houses as some of them are probably small and of poor quality. When Carol runs up the street holding her carrier bag and wearing her school uniform that doubled as her Sunday best and a street outfit you could see that she is quite poor and she that this is where she came from. Further on in the play Carol says that she wished she could get out of the city and into the countryside and she tries to leave the coach party to stay at the countryside and get away from her town. The streets are there at the beginning so that we can see were it is that she wants to get away from and we understand why she loves the countryside so much as she lives in a very small poorly made house on a polluted smoky street which probably has no distinguishing features and looks the same as all the other streets round that area. The streets are also there to represent that the children are from working class inner city estates and probably don’t know better than the streets around them. Also it represents that they think that they wont ever get out of that place and that they want to.
