Here are 3 pictures of scenes or locations from Book 1
Here is a dramatic monologue that describes Gertrude's situation.
Gertrude: I don’t know why. I don’t know why any of this happened. I tried, I really did. I tried to find a decent husband and a good job, but nothing worked out. Next thing I knew, I was having a baby boy. Then everything happened so quickly. I needed money. Then my son got sick and I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t pay for the doctor and then I got sick to, but not in the same way. I needed guidance and I had no one to go to. I should have written but I couldn’t even afford postage. I’m sorry. I know everything that I’ve done is wrong. But what can I do now? I have nowhere to go, no one to help me, and I’ve lost almost everything. If it could have gotten any worse, it probably would’ve.
