*In-class writing for Monday:

Answer each question as completely as possible. Read the questions carefully. Use direct quotes from the books to support your points. Consider a quick outline before you start writing.

Pick one of the following questions to write about

1. According to CM:
   

• on the surface, class is less of an issue,
  
• while in reality the divisions between classes run deeper than ever.
  
• And, this is unlikely to change.
  

  
   

In your own words, explain why there is a difference between our perception of class and the reality and explain why it is unlikely to change. Evidence from "Shadowy Lines" will help here. Finally, give examples from N&D and/or "15 Years on the Bottom Rung" that support your argument.

• Pretend you're Thomas Friedman. Pretend Andy Blevins and Jeff Martinelli are sitting across the table from you in a bar. What would you tell them to do? What evidence would you give them to convince them you are right? Treat each as individuals with different issues. Evidence from "Untouchables" and the sections dealing with education will be helpful here.
