Betsy Brown Thoughts

Today, we started a new book in class called Betsy Brown. The writing type really caught my eyes. Although many images are pictured, the writing at times, seems to be slang-like.
The characters are very typical in their actions, but at the same thing, I get an unusual vibe from the parents. One thing that has me wondering is why the children in the book call their parents (Jane and Greer) by their first names. From the context, I feel as if Betsy seems to be pressured to follow her parents' every command. It has a slow, but slightly intriguing beginning, so hopefully the book will be a good one.
