The Polite Society

He cried and cried when he had found the Three Penny Opera was performed to insult his grandfather. "they smiled and treated me kind, all the time insulting me. His grandfather too was insulted as the playwriter rewrote the book using his grandfathers image. He replaced most issues of condoning prostitution with racial overtures and used prostitution as remedy for ailment. thus in the opera the older men became fathers to brides who would inherit there ailing fathers wealth.This was made into a practise that allowed the churches to unite against the coupling of certain fellows and their thirtish brides. Always something, never a natural ending for those they wish to demonize. They made mention of a professor willing to teach a bunch of people, music so that they could form an orchestra, these men were challenged by church women who cited the practice as evil, due to them not being able to read music. The fact is that the mans grandfather never had alot of issues in his life, he waited until he was in his sixties to father a child. He died when his son was Nineteen. His moither was 42. She had been a wild woman before marrage and when her husband died, the women who knew her exaggerated truths to gain the interest and audeince of people. They didn't use the fame positivley instead it was enough to cause member of the town to create a new town elsewhere.
