The War Between the Classes

This book changed my veiw of the world. It showed me how, even somewhere as small as a classroom, their is discrimination. This book is amazing.

Anyone who reads The War BEtween the Classes will never look at the world the same way again. Even though this book is only at the reading level of 5.4, it has many hidden messages and symbolism. The War BEtween the Classes really shows how racist many people are with or without knowing it.

This story has an ingredible message which is you shouldn't judge people by their skin color or their cultures.Parents,yourself,and your beliefs shouldn't keep you away from the person or people you love.

Amy is a Japanese teenager living in the U.S. who dates a popular rich kid from school, Adam. Her parents dislike the fact that niether their son or daughter have a Japanese couple. In school, Amy and Adam take a class together that wqas known for a great game: The Color Game. Each person in the class would pick a color out of a bag that would indicate their social level in society. Amy and Adam were separated when Amy got to high class woman and Adam a low class man. The women (Teks) had more power than the men (No-Teks). It would be hard breaking the rules, even out of school because of the G4 officers. No one from a lower class could speak to a higher class unless spoken to, and everyone lower had to bow to everyone higher. This game obviouslly becomes a problem in the relationship between Amy and Adam. This was her chance to see how is to be rich, to be treated with respect. Adam, of course, did not like being lower class, especially having to bow to everyone. The game would change the lives of Amy and Adam as well as all the other players. In every country there are money, racial, and sexist issues that should be solved. The author showed many important view points of discrimination between high class and low class people through a simple game that I think would teach many people a lot about our society in general.
