Today’s article reflected the harsh atmosphere that evacuees faced in Britain 80 years ago due to a clash of classes and culture.Evaquee’s were seen as filthy and some houses weren’t allowing them to use the cooking or washing facilities.In a report from North Wales it was said ‘there is a nasty spirit among the mothers and some of the children.Some of the children were so filthy that the homeowners would wash them in carbolic baths.This made me think of the clash of classes and how they saw the evacuees as dirt invading there lives and a clash of cultures.This is why i decided to use oats which is a food associated with the lower class and to ‘dirty’ the middle class belongings with it.I used a white sheet to represent how the homeowners thought they were pure good people doing the ‘right thing’
