Small Job=Big Appreciation
"I rush home to the Blue Haven at the end of the day, pull down the blinds for privacy, srip off my uniform in the kitchen-the bathroom being too small for both a person and her discarded clothes-and stand in the shower for a good ten minutes, thinking all this water is mine" (85).
People who make alot of money at jobs where other people admire and appreciate them, they tend to take what they have for granted. They don't really think about little things they have earned, such as running water or working electricity. In a job where you live off by weekly paycheck, you tend to be more concious of everything you use that money for.
