unorthodox people of his time. During this period, the upper class established a very rigid code of conduct concerning appearance and behavior to promote the idea that social status was the only matter of true significance.

They didn’t get the chance to have any real job, didn’t get the chance to be at a school, and didn’t get the chance to marry who they wanted. Women were not allowed to in the many professions, such as teachers, lawyers, and doctors. Some women would…

It was in my 5th grade when my teacher called me one day after class and asked me to support another student with her math and reading. I must say the student she asked me to help was not my friend, and was a Hispanic with very little knowledge in understanding or comprehending English. I asked Mrs. O’Brian, my…

Creating an upside down appearance of one world depending where you are looking from. Almost as though the people in the opposite world are standing on what would be the celling of the other world. Adam lives down below in a lower class poor environment where as Eden lives up above in the upper-class environment. This idea of different classes and…

Should the Third Estate be equal to the nobles and clergy?Yes, the third estate should be completely equal to the upper classes for three major reason. First, they took over two thirds of the nation’s population and should be treated more than just the ‘common people.’Second, the voting system outruled the third estate every time and the taxes that were only issued to the working class and not the nobles and clergy made their rules unfair also. Lastly , with being tired of their power and the…

Success, in the scope of literature, has very often been depicted as a situation that only occurs when you are a high class citizen with connections, money, and have preserved an elite status. This translates into a perpetual cycle where society has developed unrealistic standards that are consistently prompted to be upheld in the middle class. John Cheever, in “The Enormous Radio”, “The Country Husband”, and “O’ Youth and Beauty”, portrays couples that struggle with fitting into these standards…

Starting off with the bottom class individuals. I would prefer to be in the French revolution if I was part of the lower class. Although famine, taxes, and inflation were negative externalities of the Revolution, I feel the formation of the new form of government from Third Estate was a history changing revolution to be a part of. They created a document that reflected the rights of every individual, not just the nobility. They earned their freedom and as Locke said, “the government’s purpose…
