hands off the pots
As well as this, when they talk
to her, they have a sense of
respect towards her.
Poverty financial and
materialistic poverty is shown in
this sequence;
When talking about Hubert's
brother being in jail and he
wants to get a diploma, but
the mother is unable to afford
books for him. This clearly
shows that the family does
not have much of an income.
Even for basic necessities.
Hubert gives money to his
mother for electricity this
suggests that although we are
introduced into a loving
home, there is a sense of lack
of money and opportunity, so
Hubert has to help provide
money for the bills.
The fact that his brother has
gone to prison shows the lack
of opportunity and shows
signs of life of crime giving
up on education and turning
to illegal ways of satisfying
needs.
