Answer to Question 1:
I feel like Erin's aggressive pursuit of a job stems from her from her single mother struggles but also just the fact that shes a women that most didn't take serious. I don't think she lives a fairly simple life but I do believe her sense of whats 'right' or 'wrong' is exponentially greater than the average American. I feel like at times Erin can be bit too pushy at times but I feel like she must keep an edge at all times because of her circumstances and disadvantages. Because she is a single mother of three that has an appearance that might cause some to necessarily not take her serious at her job.
Answer to Question 2:
My first thoughts on attorney Ed Masry was that he was just like every other lawyer and all that he cared about was giving his self a good image and making big money. I honestly think he did not work as hard on Erin's case in the beginning in the film as he would have for others with more money or credibility than her. Yes I think that all attorneys should treat every client they have the same and put the same amount of effort in to every case they take on no matter who the clients are that are involved.
Answer to Question 3:
I think Erin Brockovich is one of the most hardworking people I've ever seen (I understand its a movie) but she is in a financial hole and still makes it to work everyday. Took it into her own hands to go get info on her case and even took it far enough to get to know each person that was effected by PG & E. I think Erin see's her self more than just an temporary employee just because all the time and effort she has put into this case on her own. Yes she does see herself more than Marsry's assistance thats why should didn't take any bull crap from the other ladies in the office because she knew she was more than them, but they didn't treat her as so. I believe that is a huge influence in how Erin does her job because I feel she believes she has something to prove to show these people that shes not just what she appears to be.
Answer to Question 4:
Yes I do agree with her perspective, shes never trying to settle she expects more out of everything she does. but then at the same time Erin is right almost any money amount dosent add up to what the victims deserve from what they have gone through, and what the PG & E water has caused. Especially the innocent children that were just in a bad predicament and now have to pay for something they had no control of but are now extremely sick.
