Frenesi has a college education. And, she  was not raised by a single
parent in a working class poor home in the  post-Nixon American
economy.  Frenesi grows up during a great economy and her prospects are
really quite good, she's a filmmaker and photography, TV and Film are
all the rage as she's coming out of school. Prairie, in many respects,
slides back down the capitalist ladder to the status of her
great-grandmother because of her Mother's Tragic Fall. In a way,
Prairie, just like her great grand-mother  is married to a guy who has
been disabled by a tree.
