They Say Chapter 5

In social historian Julie Charlip's essay, she discusses the topic of social class. She uses both her and other individual's views on the topic.  For example, she starts the passage by quoting Marx and Engels, obviously stating their views.  However, she then follows up by embedding her own voice in the matter when she states, "If only that were true..." This is a clear indication she disagrees with the quote somewhat and is about to tell the reader why.  She also explains the views of a sociology professor she once interviewed by simply stating "he said" and then explaining what he did say.  Lastly, Charlip states her own view at the end when she says, "But I always felt that we were..." and explains how she feels about the matter.
