A view from the bridge- Arthur miller Catherines diarySeptember 18th 1937Y know I was sitting down today and Eddie comes in from work, looked actually tired. I had bonnie dressed in my new dress that I bought for mynew job and I had done my hair in a different style, it looked reallygood. I asked him what he thought of it, and do you know what he said?He said the skirt was too short and the heels were too attentiondrawing. He even told me Im walking wavy and that he doesnt like theway I postulate been attracting looks from the people in the shops, I toldhim they look at every girlfri quit that way but this only seemed to infuriatehim more. Whats up with him these days, he doesnt let me doanything. Whens he going to realize that Im not a little childanymore? I just want him to approve of me and it makes me so upsetwhen he doesnt, why cant he be like my friends fathers and let mehave more freedom? Im not saying I dont appreciate him and how hardhes worked and that he took me in and all but sometimes hes justmakes me so annoyed. Anyway, he told me that Beatrices cousins shouldbe arriving today, Im so excited, and I cant wait. I wonder whattheyre going to be like. Marco and Rodolfo are their names but thatsall I know about them unconnected from that Marco has kids.Youll never guess what Eddie and Beatrice were arguing about todayjust after Eddie told Beatrice about her cousins. They argued aboutwhere the Beatrices cousins were going to sleep. I mean cant B just quit moaning at Eddie, hes a good man and she just doesnt appreciatehim but they settled it and they made up.I told Eddie about the job, he was so not pleased. He wants me tofinish the stenography class. I want to work, Ill be getting paid $50per week, think of what I could do with that money. Its such aprivilege to be chosen out of the whole class, they said I was thebest that they saw there so I could still get my certificate at theend of the year, plus theres nothing better than putting what Ivelearn t into practice. I want Eddie to be happy for me, cant he seethat its impossible to turn the job down, I just cant, for goodnesssakes . Its not like Im going to be working in a bad company, its
