Finally, she had people who understood her and were willing to listen to her. She had people who believed in her, stood by her when she had her baby. The girls were not perfect, she had some not so good moments with them but even in their imperfections, they were people she could relate with. Being able to read her story to them, and hear their story, gave her a sense of belonging. When Ms Rain asked her how she feels participating in class she said “I feel here”. This is an indication of a sense of belonging.

On her short home visit she was able to see the different between her formal life and her new life. She was struggling to pay rent because her jobs didn’t pay her enough. In previous life she was only concern about writing and she did have to worry about rent money or finding a job.

Joy felt bogged down in her home, with only Mrs. Freeman and her mother for company, Joy felt she was surrounded by intellectual peers. Mrs. Freeman and her mother’s conversations made Joy irritable, Joy’s affection toward her mother was low due to the way her mother described her “[I] thought of her still as a child because it tore [my] heart to think instead of the poor stout girl in her thirties who had never danced a step or had any normal good times” (O’Connor 6). The absence of love in her home allowed her vulnerability to have a harder presence.

“Um, not to be rude but don’t you realise that I am literally your boss, and I can change your hours whenever I please.” He chuckled and then continued, “I would much rather spend time with you than work, and I was kind of hoping you felt the same way.

She was sad because she how stressed her parents were because they did not have enough money. She became even more sad when she realized her grandparents, that live right around the corner from them were in an even worse situation and had nobody to take care of them. Her mom used to work as a cleaning lady, which meant she had to sleep in the house she was working for, while her father was denied from every job he applied for. After a while, her dad got a job that paid the minimum wage, but it was better than nothing, she said. Her quit her job and stayed home with her

Change can only happen when one is able to speak out about it. In the short story The Friday that Everything Changed, Alma speaks out, so the social norms can be questioned, and redeveloped. While reading the story, one can also infer that her question was strange, as the teachers would “just [burst] out laughing at Alma right away” (pg 2). Alma starts questioning the system, wondering, “Why can’t girls go for water too?” (pg 2). This leads the rest of the girls, who become intoxicated by this idea, to follow along trying to induce change. In the result of speaking out, the girls got to carry the water bucket. Although it is difficult to discuss more sensitive subjects, silence is a heavier burden.

However, Arlene began to share some of the things she never told her dad after she landed squarely on her feet eight months later. What he did know is that she scored a job in a small upscale hole in the wall called ‘The Bistro’ at the time. What he didn’t know is that the owner was making strides in an unlikely market, fast becoming a rising star as an up-and-coming chef of importance. He saw potential in Arlene and offered to tutor her personally the demanding ins and outs of restaurant hustle, even teaching her as she helped him to cook on the line.

He assured her that this is the time to make the best money and the chance to help the Tribal Pizza even more. They became busy from the moment she arrived on Friday night. Jim hoped the rush for pizza would continue from open until close on Saturday.

Before the 1870’s, the week end was just that. Week end. The week end was Saturday night, not Sunday. Sunday was considered the first day of the week, not the week end, week-end or weekend. It was not for work or fun, it was for worship, a day of rest. Now It’s “week days and weekend”, as Rybczynski points out in Waiting for the Weekend (35).
