Karl Marx and Marxist Class Struggle

loss Approach Marxs Beliefs Philosophy was meant to be used as a tool to bring about change. The capitalist system caused the alienation of the workers, thusly causing them not to be able to live to the fullest http//ragingdove12603. tripod. com/id13. html Queen, Plaid, and Big Tall Goony-Goony walk into A&P in nothing but bathing suits, and dont even have seat on. The girls walking in naked and barefoot can represent a Marxist clan struggle. Sammys high admiration and observance from behind the cashier towards these girls in the story portrays a Marxist class struggle.He views the girls, especially Queenie, as superior and high-class, and compares himself and the place he works in as crummy. In this case, its Sammy who is the working-class, and he tries doing something about his position/status by quitting his employment for these high-class girls. He doesnt see working at A&P or his animal trainer Lengal as desirable as he sees the class of these girls. He struggles in the en d with his decision facial expression back in the big windows . . . I could see Lengel in my place in the slot . . . and my support kind of fell as I felt how hard the world was deviation to be to me hereafter. libber Approach Sammy as a possible girl Being naked approaches being revolutionary going barefoot is mere populism John Updike Populism is a political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against the privileged elite. You know, its one thing to have a girl in a bathing suit on the beach . . . and another thing in the cool of the A&P, to a lower place the fluorescent lights . . . with her feet paddling along naked over our checkerboard green-and-cream rubber-tile floor. Perhaps Sammy emphasizes her descriptions of the three girls, because she admires their revolution of having to be working women/women under policy and desires their courage and freedom to be different. Or perhaps Sammy desires the freedom and sumptuosity (power) th e girls have. By entering A&P naked and barefoot the girls show power/voice to be seen, something uncommon for most girls during the time. They face the consequence of Lengal. Sammy witnessing Lengalembarrass the girls quits to stand up for them, but doesnt begin their attention.
