J.B.Priestley’s play, An Inspector Calls - Eva Smiths Diary :: English Literature

AN INSPECTOR CALLSWonderful day today. Went humble to Birling and Company to be one of theworkers and I got the job. I am so kindle. Im starting in two daysand Im seriously looking forward to it. At least I hope it would be much exciting than the last one I tried. Mum was precise excited and soam I as you can tell. Im already intellection about that break I will watch next summer. Go to Blackpool, lie on the beach. By that time Imsure I would hold in saved up enough property to do all this because theytold me the money wasnt that much only if it was better than nothing. Imsure it wouldnt be that bad - credibly twenty-six shilling orsomething like that because the job looked pretty hard.6/October/1909Working this few weeks is much better. At least now Im apply to themachines and places. I was wondering the other day if Mr Birling wouldever fill in around because Ive never seen him and I designate its quitesilly when you think of it. Im working(a) under a man Ive never seen .They say hes very pompous, and hardly comes down to see anybody. Allhe c atomic number 18s about is what has been do and what is needed. He haschildren too and his wife is cold hearted I hear - but come to thinkof it all upper class people are all so pompous-the question is why?I guess nought is issue to be able to answer that question. Even ifthere was going to be an answer, theyd probably say Because we aretrying to put you working class in your place I heard Mr Grainger oneof the manpower who worked there say that the other day to one of thegirls.11/November/1909Everyone is self-centered with what they have nobody wants to share theirfortune, everybody has to walk their way through poverty. Do peopleever think how the future is going to be? argon we all going to suffertill God comes and holds us by? Will our generation suffer likethis? Before I have my children, I hope to have some one who loves meand maybe I would have saved more money then so my children dont gothrough s o much. - the walk to the mill is going to be a long waytoday because the normal short cut has been impede for some reason sonow I have to take the long way around. Round the market which isabout 10minutes and then to the factory which will take me 15minutes
