In the following pages you will find out homeless people are regular people. They are from all walks of life. They are men, women, and children.

The speaker and the whiskey priest describe themselves as sinners, yielding to
play “Educating Rita” only uses one main setting and two main characters. Some people may think that these would make the play seem boring.

He does this to give us as much information as possible about the characters and their personalities. The play, which is set in the early 1980s, deals with the clashes between education and culture.

"Now, what lesson can we derive from this experiment?" the teacher asked. One of the students raised his hand and wisely, responded, "Drink whiskey and you won't get worms."
