A Glimpse of the Future
It is their ordinariness that makes them interesting. Lisa, Tina and Cheryl are 14-year-old schoolgirls who come from families which are neither rich nor poor. The area they inhabit is also quite typical.
Newbury Park, like much of England, belongs to the car-dominated, unattractive area. Situated between the fringes of London and Essex, it consists of chunks of monotonous, semi-detached housing, surrounded by the traffic of the motorways and highways. Its landscape is the unimaginative streets, littered by the people who take cheap holidays here and also the local intensive television watchers. Still too young to go to the pubs and discos, the youthful trio spends much of its non-school time on this landscape's streets, or at its various fast-food outlets.
Talking to these girls, as they giggle beneath a lamppost, is not difficult. Lisa, the tallest one, seems to be the leader. She has creamy skin and shoulder-length, dark ringlets. Cheryl and Tina are smaller and have medium-length, fair to brown hair. They join readily in chatting about pop music, about fashion.
What do they do when they are not at school or on the streets? \television,\much money,\Lisa adds. \we go to the pictures or the amusement arcades.\
What do they do in the amusement arcades? \video games. Space Invaders. Things like that,\video games.\
What about boys? Do they have boyfriends? This causes giggles. \business,\about books, do they ever read books? \It's all right.\
No other books? \Hardy,\in some private permission, meet. \\a load of crap.\The other two break into laughter, as if she had said something clever.
It is obviously time, before the conversation wanders too far into the comic, to get to the heart of things. What do they think life is all about? Is it about pleasure, or is it about finding something to believe in? Tina and Cheryl look shocked, almost prudish. Lisa looks offended. Perhaps such questioning is too reminiscent of what the religious studies teacher has asked.
Tina and Cheryl gaze, in appeal, at Lisa. Her voice is now abrupt. \bother with that stuff,\Her face has a dark, defensive look.
Then Cheryl, who has not yet spoken, suddenly contributes. \that you're out of date,\other two are looking at her expectantly.
