When Akaky was promoted to a fifth class clerk, he was referred to another department. The quote that described how Akaky felt about the job is as followed: “Oh no, I would rather have something to copy instead” (Gogal 3). This quote really shows how Akaky was essestially brainwashed into thinking he is not good enough to do anything other than what he is destined to do. Additionally, though he was offered a promotion, it was nearly not as good as one would think a man with a substantial amount of work experience would get.

Every morning, it was said that the low class clerks would walk to work every morning, the ninth class clerks would run as fast as they could to work in their threadbare overcoats (Gogal 4). This really brings the reality of the suffering of those of lower classes must face at times in the cold months. This is one of the oppression impacts that demonstrate how they do not have the quality of nice coats to keep them warm, thus an example of a life depriving
