1) How is Jenny typical of a British teenager?
Jenny is very typical in some ways to a modern day teenager. This is shown when she bunks lessons to go and have a smoke with her friends. Also she drinks alcohol before the legal age, which most teens do now. Also she has her independents because her parents let her go to Paris and to oxford with David, it also shows the parents have less control. Most of the teens today loose their virginity at an early age and before marriage, also this shows her naivete by not knowing David before she jumped straight in to marriage. This is not typical of 1960's teenagers as they usually wait for marriage and it is frowned upon if they do not. Jenny is also typical of a 1960's teenager as well by being very in to her studies. She aspiers to go to oxford university and her parents are pushing her to do her best. Teenagers are expected to try and find someone to marry at early ages and she found someone very soon, which her parents had to aprove of.
