Compare and contrast the relevance of social class in The Commitments and Rumble Fish. How are working-class people represented in these novels?
Working class refers to a society group that must to work to survive. In comparison with others social class sometimes to work is not a necessity because family background is going to resolve money problems if a lack of money exists. A big part of the world population belongs to the working class but the big difference is the focus on the energy that people release producing money to survive.
Sometimes people produce money but with positive energy and they assume that they must work without another alternative. This case is very clear in the Commitments. All the characters were conscious of their working class condition, but they concentrate on music and they could connect something very attractive by working. They were very lucky because they could really enjoy working through the music.
On the other hand some people never assume their working class condition and their lives become hell. They want to have a lot of things without any effort and the idea of working is related to something bad. In Rumble Fish this situation is very obvious. Main characters suffer the consequences of a father who never accepts his condition. It is necessary to underline that sad and horrible episodes in lives affect and produce this stage of social resentment against to others and work.
To conclude it is very important the energy that people release through working. Maybe the work is not the appropriated but if the person assumes it with positive energy his or her life will be good and every thing will seem less difficult. Even to change this condition would be easy because in a positive stage appear new ideas, people that can help. In contrast when people release negative energy or working is relate to something negative every thing around this person will be negative.
