Interview with a person, who lived in the Victorian time
Note: In the Victorian time about two thirds of the population lived under the bread line.
I’m a scientist, who studied this time. Some days ago I had found an article about a poor person named Jack. Jack complained about his bad situation. So I made a interview out of this article:
Interviewer: Good morning, Sir. Can I ask you some questions?
Jack: Good morning. Why certainly!
Interviewer: What is your name?
Jack: Street sweeper Jack.
Interviewer: Oh... that’s really your name?
Jack: No, but my friends gave me this name.
Interviewer: Ok. So what is your job, Jack?
Jack: I’m a street sweeper, but sometime I work as a story-teller.
Interviewer: And how much money do you earn?
Jack: I earn only a few pounds and I work the whole day.
Interviewer: Where do you live?
Jack: I live in London by a family with five children. I can sleep in a tiny room with a bed and a small table. For that I have to give the family the half of my wage.
Interviewer: Do you think that you will have a change to get a better life?
Jack: You must now I’m a happy man and I think always positive, but sometimes I want an other life and I do not think that I have this change in London, maybe in America?
Interviewer: Which other life do you want? Only a example.
Jack: I would like to have a lot of money, a good job for example judge, a beautiful house with a garden, children and a wonderful wife.
Interviewer: What do you think about the difference between poor and rich?
Jack: I agree with the people who say that is unfair, but I don’t get upset about it, because I put up with my life.
Interviewer: Thank you for the interview and your valuably time.
Jack: My pleasure! Goodbye!
