Unsafe at Any Speed and Mr. Voice

     In Unsafe at Any Speed, I felt bad that the main character stayed with an old van while the rest of his family including his daughter had better cars. From what I know about the story, the main character doesn't have a job position where he is able to earn enough and buy the cars that his wife could afford. His wife is messed up and selfish. She should've at least helped him save up for a comfortable vehicle for him too. My opinion is that she doesn't love him but that she's with him because she has a daughter with him and she's probably not in the mood to do immature things anyways.

     In the passage that we just shared in Mr. Voice I would have felt the same way how the girl felt about Claude. He's someone who recently came into his mother's life and already making uncomfortable noises for her. She probably found him very annoying when he would mention hints for his mother in front of her. In the beginning she didn't mention much of the interaction between him and her. it made me think at first the Claude didn't pay attention to her as a stepdaughter. But towards the end she talks about Claude getting more closer to her and actually feeling so much care for her. He was even protective and I didn't expect that from the character of Claude in the beginning. I really thought that after the mother walked away and left her own daughter that he would leave her too, and that maybe he would say "she's not my responsibility anymore."
