"He slept that night in his own country and he had a dream wherein he saw God's pilgrims laboring upon a darkened verge in the last of the twilight of that day and they seemed to be returning from some deep enterprise that was not of war nor were they yet in flight but rather seemed coming from some labor to which perhaps these and all other things stood subjugate."
The Crossing, Cormac McCarthy

This is great because it completely proves an interesting thing that people often don’t realize about the very elusive upper-class (which, like, let’s be serious, Rooney Mara completely is. So, for that matter, is Armie Hammer. He’s descended from an oil tycoon. Basically, what I’m saying is that in The Social Network, everyone but Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg are actually Winklevii.) That thing is that, the true upper-class don’t actually dress like they’re on Gossip Girl. They wear five years old, faded Abercrombie & Fitch tee-shirts. Everything they wear is unremarkable; may have been expensive, but is now lived in. Because they don’t actually need to drop huge amounts of money on the newest purse to prove anything. And Rooney Mara is living proof of this, because she really is that rich, and her family really is just that.  That has been the end of our Class in America lecture series. Please finish The Great Gatsby for next class.
