How can I use an object in a different class?

I've been messing around in C# a little bit and I've stumbled into a problem for which I haven't managed to find an answer. I created two objects in main from another .cs file and I would like to assign a value for a variable associated with the object in another class. After about an hour of looking, I have no idea how to do it. Here is my code (I know it's not perfect; I'm just starting to learn):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Converse
{
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

        Subject subject1 = new Subject();
        Subject subject2 = new Subject();

        Generate.generation();

    }
}
}

Then

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Converse
{
public class Subject
{
    public int persuasion;

    public Subject()
    {
        persuasion = 0;
    }
}
}

And on this last one, lines 17 and 19 are the problem:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Converse
{
public static class Generate
{
   public static void generation()
   {
       Console.WriteLine("Control over Subject  1's personality? ");
       Console.WriteLine("1) None");
       Console.WriteLine("2) Minimal");
       Console.WriteLine("3) Considerable");

       subject1.persuasion = Console.ReadKey();

       switch (subject1.persuasion)
       {
           case 1:
               break;

           case 2:
               GenerationFunctions.lightGen();
               break;

           case 3:
               GenerationFunctions.heavyGen();
               break;
           default:
               break;
       }


       Console.ReadKey();
   }
}

}

Can anybody tell me how to code this properly?

Thanks

There are multiple issues with your code. You need to pass a reference to your subject to the generation void.

public static void generation(Subject subject)
{
   Console.WriteLine("Control over Subject  1's personality? ");
   Console.WriteLine("1) None");
   Console.WriteLine("2) Minimal");
   Console.WriteLine("3) Considerable");

   subject.persuasion = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadKey());

   switch (subject.persuasion)
   {
       case 1:
           break;

       case 2:
           GenerationFunctions.lightGen();
           break;

       case 3:
           GenerationFunctions.heavyGen();
           break;
       default:
           break;
   }
}

then to call: 

Subject subject1 = new Subject();

Generate.generation(subject1);
