Impacts from Society Societies often reflect back on the citizens and can change them into being cruel people. “The Doll’s House” by Katherine Mansfield and “The Jade Pendant” by Catherine Lim we see that Mrs. Burnell and Mrs. Khoo think they have more power over those lower than them because of the class division. In contrast, there is Kezia, the protagonist, and Ah Soh, Mrs. Khoo’s relative, who have seen or been involved in the injustice and want to make a change for the Kelvey sisters and Ah Soh’s daughter. Ultimately, in both stories, the authors reveal that the societies that people live in can cause unneeded conflicts and can impact people’s motives.

In modern society, people are not equal. This inequality stems from a number of social issues, not the least of which is the notion of the class structure. The middle-class is traditionally viewed in a generous and hard-working light. Mia Alvar’s stories “Shadow Families” and “The Miracle Worker” however, depict a middle-class that lacks respect and pities the lower-class. In her stories, Alvar presents the lower-class characters in a way that suggests they are in many ways incompetent and dependent upon the higher class. This disparity in classes serves to perpetuate the issue of classism and this is the very issue that Alvar aims to represent. Mia Alvar’s stories “Shadow Families” and “The Miracle Worker” depict the perpetuation of the classist behavior where a middle-class disrespects, pities, and underestimates the lower-class.
