the glass menagerie 5,6

the next scene takes place right before world war two. Amanda is nagging tom about his smoking habits. tom finds a gentleman caller for Laura. his name is jim and makes 85 dollars a month which to me seems ridiculous! tom reminds Amanda that Laura is crippled and lives in a fantasy world. tom gets up and leaves and says he is going to the movies again and Amanda becomes worried again but is excited for the gentleman caller to come. this sounds like my mom because she is alway cleaning the house and getting ready for something. jim comes and laura dresses really pretty and walks down the steps just like cotillion. when she reaches the bottom of the steps she realizes the Jim is her crush from high school. i had a feeling this was going to happen.foreshadowing. Laura becomes ill.
