Daisy Renton diary
The diary of Daisy Renton - Asha Rusbridge
Entry 1
I have been blacklisted, fired from two jobs in just a year. Both for reasons that are ridiculous, first of all because I wanted to get a pay rise I mean what I am supposed to do when I have so little money, just carry on like everything is ok. The other girls in my work needed the money to, they just had no confidence to be able to speak up and say the truth. The second reason was by far the most stupid and frustrating reason, this girl just did not have the right figure for this dress so I thought I should put it on to show her how to wear it and apparently that was the wrong thing to do. I suppose I knew that it would frustrate her but when your as poor as me, you will try to do anything to show that you can compete with the rich but in this case I couldn't. She said that if I wasn't fired I she would close our account so there was no choice for me really. I really do try and stand up for my self but these days trying won't get you far if your not upper class.
I want to change myself, I wish I could be someone else and have an easy life, like others do I see so many happy women around me acting as if life is simple and easy. I know I can't change my life but I do want to change something about me, maybe my name..I'm going to change my name to Daisy Renton. It makes me sound like a sweet little girl that will do no harm unlike a plain, harsh Eva Smith. I want to carry on, pick myself up and lead a different sort of life. That way when I try to get a job I will be able to because people won't know me, they won't know that I'm Eva Smith who just gets fired all the time, they certainly won't employ me then.
Entry 2
Now that I've changed my name I feel as if I should be act like a different person in this society I mean if I need to change my name to get a job then I need to change the way I act as well, I won't shout my opinions to anyone I will just keep myself to myself and agree with everyone else. That
