A Type of love story.

In the readings of Russell Banks Sarah Cole: A Type of love story I found that the couple was faced with two particular challenges. The first being Social class and the second being economic disablement.

Even though the story seemed to be just a love story it wasn't it became deeper than the lust the two people shared together. Ron was a good looking man which whom lived on the East of downtown Concord a good neighborhood. On the other hand Sarah lived at the South end of Concord which was described as being dirty, dark and not safe. Which as you could clearly see the two of them come from to different class structures on being middle class and the other being of the Lower class. Through out the Love story Social acceptance came up a lot with Ron and Sarah. For example, when Sarah asked Ron if they could go dancing he replied saying no because his co workers attend that bar on the weekend and he didn't want them in his business. The real reason I believed it be and so did she was the mere fact they come from two different social groups. Ron probably figured just as he sees her as an ugly lower class woman his peers would think the same too.

Economically we can see that Ron was doing better for himself than Sarah was and she new it that's why in the beginning she was a little stand offish when she came to his apartment. She probably was thinking what does he want with a girl such as myself because she didn't have much to offer him. When they described her car it was just a huge, Dark green Buick Sedan but when they described his car as a "Datsun Fastback coupe that she admires for the sole purpose of making love to her" spoke volumes of how she is portrayed as a lower class and socially inclined person that could only be on the same level as Ron only for the reason of their love making.

This story was crazy but so true in regular people's lives today.
