While playing \u201cHow to Rob a Bank\u201d, I noticed about halfway through (and don\u2019t remember if this was the case before I noticed it), that Ted\u2019s spelling wasn\u2019t very good. He searched \u201cWyld barriers said to eet\u201d and \u201cgit away frm a man wit a basbil bat\u201d while he is trapped in the desert and trying to get back to San Antonio in \u201cPart 2: escape\u201d, even though he knew how to spell \u201chow to treat blisters\u201d right before those searches.<\/p>\n
Why does Ted all of a sudden lose his ability to spell? Is it a commentary on the type of people (lower socioeconomic status without a lot of formal education) who are stereotypically associated with bank robbing?<\/p>\n
In \u201cPart 5: sister, sister\u201d, Lizzie\u2019s sister Deborah Frankin also mentions all of her suitors driving \u201cHondas, KIAs, and Fords\u201d; cars normally thought to be middle class and not typically associated with the wealthy.<\/p>\n
In what other instances are socioeconomics meant to be present in “How to Rob a Bank”? Are these details deliberately put into \u201cHow to Rob a Bank\u201d in order to classify Ted, Lizzie, and Deborah as lower class? If so, is it problematic that that should be the case? What does it do to the narrative of \u201cHow to Rob a Bank\u201d? If not, why are those details put into \u201cHow to Rob a Bank\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
