     The world is composed of a beautiful assortment of people. Several differences exist between these people. One of these differences is social class. Two major social classes exist: the lower class and the higher class. In the novel, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler, the actions and thoughts of Duddy Kravitz and the people he encounters identify the differences between these two classes.  These classes are different when it comes to how much education, the access to money that its constituents have and their behavior of superiority. Social class can highly influence the behavior and success of an individual.
     The educational level within the social classes is quite different. The lower class citizens, usually, cannot afford a higher education. Duddy, the protagonist of the novel who is part of the lower class, is only a high school graduate. In fact, he starts his film business after returning from a summer job to make money to buy some land. The other people working at the hotel like Irwin, an antagonist in the novel, are from the higher class and they really do not need the money but are working at the hotel to please their family.

     Money is one of the biggest differences between the lower and higher classes of society. The lower class has great difficulty to make money. Even if they have a great idea, they must first have a capital investment to start it wich must come from a higher class source. In the novel Duddy's main quest is to find money to buy land. Duddy explains: "I'm not looking for a partner  . . . " (Richler, 291) but no one wants to lend him the money he needs because he does not have any collateral and he is considered a risk. In contrast, higher class citizens do not face such problems.  If a person with Mr. Calder's wealth would have wanted to obtain the land, he could have without any exterior funds. Also the banks know the higher class citizens have the assets necessary to take out a loan, unlike Duddy...
