Jernal 2


The McClellan is a family of four, a mother, father, and two children. The kids are younger probably around 6 and 7 years old because they were outside throwing a ball to each other, and their nursery had an African wildlife theme. They got up at 7:00 a.m. and at 7:09 ate bacon, eggs, and toast. At 8:01 the kids went to school, and at least one parent drove to work. The mother may have overseen the cleaning of the house, and she entertained friends in the afternoon with martinis and egg salad sandwiches while playing bridge games. She enjoyed gardening, and the father routinely mowed the lawn. They had a large, friendly dog that liked to be with his owners. The kids came home around 4:00 because the nursery walls became alive with colorful animals, and they played until 5:00 when they took a bath. After dinner, the father smoked a cigar, and at 9:00p.m. a nighttime poem was read out loud for the mom. Her favorite poem was about humanity disappearing and nature continuing on without them.

  1. Okay - good picking out of details that suggest an outline to the daily routine that this family held. Can you go further and analysis this routine to give insight into who this family was?
