Untouchable

I think the most interesting part of the book is the idea of class so far. When professor mufti talked about the idea of such a degrading form of labor bringing pride and being honorable that really struck a chord with me and made me think about the book in a new light. I think the idea of a person being born into a lower class and working as hard as they can and using the body they were given to make the most of it is such an honorable thing. The book also talks about how people thought he didn't belong in the class he was in because of how he carried himself. I also liked this passage, "to him work was a sort of intoxication which gave him a glowing health and plenty of easy sleep" (18) I really like this idea of labor and the pride that comes with doing a good job, no matter what the job may be.
