David Copperfield and Class Hierarchy Ben Kingsley, an English actor and Oscar winner once said, “The hierarchy of class in the UK was rigid. It was like a religion.

questions him on his background. Here the audience sees Eddie as a young man seeking a goal. Jack asks, “So what do you wanna do?” You take the bus from Torrance to work in Reseda, why don't you work in Torrance?” Why work in Reseda as a bus boy? He still lives at home and he doesn't pay rent so he doesn't need the money. Yet he makes the long trip for something money can't buy—fame. Eddie asks Jack, “So $5 or $10?” Here we first discover that Eddie is a gay prostitute. Again, strange because

England Dinner," and a chance to sing with the Boston Pops, but I'll be spending the weekend coaching my son's Little League team and hanging out with my family. Reunions seem unnatural to me. I refuse to participate in the charade of pretending to be surprised to see a classmate, and when I'm asked, "What have you been doing?" as one inevitably is, I never know where to draw the line between "stuff" and the full, self-reflective version one might share with a close friend.
