Anybody can change their social class if they want. This woman is trying to do this but she is stuck in a position where it would be very difficult. Her son on the other hand has the drive to. He dresses for a higher social class and acts like a higher social class. He also tries to succeed in sports and school. The boy turns out to be living socially higher than his mother and brother who never tried to move up. Yes, moving up social classes is possible. It takes time and hard work. I will admit though that you can only advance one or two classes. Going from rags to riches is very rare.


Social Classes don't really play a role in our school. Yes we are all different classes but they don't separate us. Our school is small so we all intermingle. There are kids who are poor that are best friends with the rich kid. We are lucky enough to have this. In larger schools Social Classes are everything. The poor are discriminated and the higher ups get treated better.


The things we own tend to represent our social class. My family lives in a broken down house that's falling apart. However we drive two newer cars. We cant afford the fancy things but we still enjoy some of the pleasures of life. Things like satellite TV, wifi, and an xbox. We shop at Kesslers and Walmart and we eat white and wheat bread.
