In “Matilda”, Ms. Trunchbull, was represented as one of the small percentage because of they way she had power and controlled to change anything she really anted in the school (Dahl). Trunchbull was one of the lobbyists or a bully because really, she could do what ever she wanted. This was until the middle and lower classes, which were the student and the teacher, Ms. Honey, stood up the power and took the down. Also, in “The Interlopers” if the middle class and lower class keep fighting, represented by the two main characters, then the two classes would be destroyed by the upper class and lobbyist, represented as the wolves (SAKI). At the beginning the two families or main characters had a rivalry with each other about land; which they

There has always been a class system since the beginning of civilization and it was extremely difficult to get to a higher class. A person could not choose what class they were born in and the majority were lower class-man. As before the only way to become wealthy is by education and it was hard for lower class-man to get one. One way was for girls to get married like Johnny’s mom did or Mrs. Lapham marring Mr. Tweedie. For boys to become a higher class they need to be educated or have great skill at a craft which is usually only born with like Johnny. As these kids have little to no money they are picked on by arrogant adults, an example is Dove as the horseman for the British. These lower class-man children were given brute and labor intensive jobs. The children’s jobs are unimportant so they are given the least money for their work. Some children with low pay would be accused of theft if they had a valuable object. When court action is taken the upper class-man are listened to, unless undeniable evidence, like in Johnny vs Mr. Lytes case. A common stereotype for these children is that they are sick and thieves. The class system has created rough jobs for the lower class children and most jobs are extremely
In the south, African Americans could not go to the same school as the white children. That made them mad because they were made equal. In the the book, The Watsons go to Birmingham, their cousins marched to have rights and to show that there should be no segregation between African Americans and whites. In the book ,The Watsons go to Birmingham it says “ White children often attended large, well equipped , modern schools while African American students went to one-room schoolhouses without enough books or teachers.”(207 -208) They treated them unfair because the African Americans got the hand me downs of the white kids.This is an example for how segregation fits in the book and when it really happened.

With reference to the ways Russell presents the theme of social class in the extract and elsewhere in the novel in act one, show how far you agree that there is no escape from the effects of social class for the characters in the play.
The events of the play reveal that most people in the upper-middle class (Mr and Mrs Birling and Gerald) look down on the lower class with derision (‘girls of that class’) and the only middle class person in the play (the Inspector) seems to detest the upper-middle class because he believes in socialism.

In to novel, the Cunningham’s is a good example of the lower working class. The Cunningham’s were farmers. Many people back than believed farmers were very poor, but it was the fact that the depression hit them the hardest that made them struggle so much financially, “Are we as poor as the Cunninghams? Not exactly. They Cunninghams are country folks, farmers, and the crash hit them the hardest” (Lee,

Ultimately, people believe that race and social class issues are discussed as two different outlets. However, in the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Maguire stresses how issues of race and social class intersect. Both issues are dependent on one another. He illustrates this by showing how both intersections can effect differently for each group of people in Oz.

There are many different social classes in “To Kill A Mockingbird.” The factors that separate people into these social classes are their skin color and their occupation. For example, Atticus, Scout, and Jem are part of the highest social class. They are part of this social class because Atticus is a lawyer, which makes him a highly respected person in the community. He is also white, which, at that time was a very important factor that chose who belonged in what social class. Scout and Jem are his children and therefore are also part of this social class.

Class stratification can also be a source of evil thoughts and actions by making the lower and the upper class detached. In most cases, the upper and the lower classes live emotionally segregated if not physically. This separation creates absence of real conversation between them. As a result, information gap between them flourishes. Unfortunately, the information gap will be filled by assumptions and rumors, which will lead to misunderstanding and miss characterization. As we can see in the “Rose for Emily”, the society is distant for Emily. Nobody from the town approached her to have a conversation. But there were a lot of assumptions about her and her actions. For instance, when she bought a poison, they all said “she will kill herself;
