8. Working/Lower Class

9. In the conclusion...
At the end we realized that the higher society people worked less and
still had more money. The wore fine clothes and experienced and
enjoyed things lower class couldnt, they also didnt have to work much.
They higher class was also the only class where women completed
education and signified availability for marriage.
The middle class was just in the middle and had some of the luxuries the
higher class did, but not all. They wore regular clothes, had limited
money and would have to work harder then the higher class.
The lower class had the least accessories of life. They wore second -
hand and often torn clothes, they were not allowed to participate in any
entertainment or sports. They had to work the most but however given
the least or no money.
