Seven Up! - Comments & Tips

Really interesting, the mix of the kids being British and it being from the 1960s really makes them look and seem much older than 7. Seeing such strong class differences already was wild, as well as how much of a gendered upbringing they had. So many questions about girlfriends and boyfriends, they are elementary school age! That plus the questions about poor people and "coloured people" were pretty shocking. Like having one of the girls say that "she wouldn't like to know a coloured person, thank you very much." Also wild to have multiple of the kids talk about which specific schools and universities they will go to, I did not have a clue about any of that at that age. Could have been longer and I wish there was less romance focus, but it was very illuminating! Excited for the rest of the series.
