Because of the GI Bills that had enabled many veterans from the Second World War to be enrolled at colleges, there was a huge increase in the number of middle-class families. Apart from the sharp increase of the income of these families, a suburban middle-class culture was also formed, in which the wives were supposed to hold the roles of the mother, the housekeeper, the entertainer of neighbors and friends, and the manager of a façade of a happy family to impress other people. During that period of time, the husbands were the main source of family income. And it was rare for middle-class wives to keep jobs. Therefore, women like Julia Weeds might feel trapped by their families and the suburbs, and their values and efforts were under-rated. The only way out of their daily routine was to go to the parties held by their neighbors.Language Focus11.howl2.vale3.romance4.napkin5.ferocity6.battlefield7.scold8.antagonism9.absorbed 10.affection21. meant to2.burst into tears3.a cutting look4.slaming the door5.concerned with6.drift away from7.spilt all over8.hit…on the31. justification2. accusation3.passionately4. favoritism5. detestation6. prematurely7. combatants8. persecution41. v. to throw something using a lot of force; n. the high or low quality of a sound2. v. to state that something is not allowed; a. a forbidden place is one that most people are not allowed to enter3. n. the light from a burning candle; a. lit only by candles4. a. unhappy, depressing; n. the feeling of being very worried or disappointed5. a. worried; n. a feeling that you care about someone and want them to be happy and well51.
