Class politics in 45 and 47 Stella Street and everything that happens by HoneyThe history of 45 and 47 Stella Street and Everything That Happened (Honey, E 2000) is written in a first-person narrative perspective. This is evident from page 5 of the book when the narrator, Henni, introduces herself to the reader and does not switch from Henni to another narrator throughout the text. The reader sees the story through Henni's perspective on the world around her. The implied reader would be aimed at children around the same age as Henni so that the reader can identify with her. The author attempts to imply that Henni is a reliable narrator from the moment the reader first learns about Henni. There is a photo of a tall girl named Henni and a statement in which Henni says: “I am the tallest girl in our school. I am neither the oldest, nor the smartest, nor the prettiest, nor the funniest, but I am certainly the tallest, which no one can deny” (Honey 2000, p.5). This honest statement encourages the reader to view Henni as a reliable narrator. In the story, Henni frequently writes letters to God asking for his help with certain matters, such as when old Aunt Lillie went to heaven and she asked God to give her a good place (p. 10) . Usually, most people associate someone who prays or writes notes to God with a reliable and trustworthy person. The fact that the story is seen through Henni's eyes, thoughts and opinions, the reader is able to agree with what is being described to them by Henni. Class politics are introduced into the story when the Phonies arrive on Stella Street. The Phonies are hated upon their arrival in Stella Street because of the renovations they are doing on old Aunt Lillie's house and the children of Stella Street make fun of the fact that the Phonies are refurnishing the house (p.13). Henni encourages the reader to make fun of the high-class Phonies about the way they speak, as the Phonies use words such as "dinnah" and "daaaarling" (p. 18). This shows the Phonies in a negative way, causing the audience to side with Henni or take a middle-class approach to the story. When the Phonnies send a note from their lawyer to Frank's family for a proposal for a new fence (p.22), they are once again frowned upon..
