They say, I say Chp 5

In the passage from Charlip, its clear in both the title of his writing, and the final sentences of it just how he feels about the topic he is writing on. the topic is social classes. He is unsettled with the lack of identity in today society as the idea of social classes begin to disipate. in this passage he refers to others such as marx and engals and wishes that their views on society were in fact true. the author talks in 1st person the entire passage, and uses it effectively in refering to other people to support his own views, such as when he talks about his sociology teacher and his own views on how society and its classes are ever changing. Throughout the reading he blatently states things such as "if only this were true" follwing marx and engels statement about 2 generalized social classes and "what class do i come from? what class am i in now?". both of these are clearly and effectively stating his opinion in first person.
