Most people have determined that the classes for society are wealthy, middle class, or poor. Some definitions of class look only at numerical measures such as wealth or income. Others take into account qualitative factors, such as education, culture, and social status. In ancient Egypt, however, I think it mainly focused on skill which lead to wealth. An example of this from the story is Zau, he is widely known for his marvelous goldsmith skills and as we see in the story his abode and the life he is living is pretty lavished. To clarify social status is a person's standing or importance in relation to other people within a society. As I mentioned before there are many characteristics that contribute to it like wealth, culture, and education. An example of this from chapter nine in The Golden Goblet was when Ranofer talked about how what Gebu was eating (fish) was more pricy that the usual things he eats. He also talks about how now instead of only one pair of sandals Gebu owns two, and how most of the time when he comes home he smells of barley beer. These are all examples from the story that show how Gebu has gained wealth and it gives him a better living. It also shows how much higher Gebu\u2019s level of education is compared to the other stonecutter\u2019s but when he is compared to other crafts man like goldsmiths he is basically nothing. This happens in today\u2019s society as well, some people may have a higher social status than others but usually there is always going to be a person or a group of people with an even higher status as that person.","dateCreated":"1448934172","smartDate":"Nov 30, 2015","userCreated":{"username":"nhaque2021","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/nhaque2021","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1445949767\/nhaque2021-lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"76374407","dateCreated":"1448037018","smartDate":"Nov 20, 2015","userCreated":{"username":"ktblash","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ktblash","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1210454701\/ktblash-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/fagoldengoblet2015.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/76374407"},"dateDigested":1532128138,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Post #8","description":"At the end of Chapter 8 Ranofer has a choice.

Although this may sound like an easy decision because one craft is highly valuable and the other, not so much there were factors that affected his decision because if he quit working at the stonecutter's shop he wouldn't have the basic things that a human needs, food, water, and shelter because Gebu would be really mad. The offer at Zau's shop is also very tempting because he is looked up to by everyone and Ranofer would not need to pay a fee to be a pupil, unlike the others. If I were  in Ranofer's shoes I would probably turn down the offer at Zau's until I was maybe older and I would have all the necessary needs for a human myself without relying on Gebu. It's true that Ranofer loves the craft of a goldsmith but he would not have nutrition and the health conditions that are needed to work there.
