Sylvia's Struggle in The Lesson by Toni Cade Bambara

The "course" of Toni Cade Bambara is centered on the role of a black girl trying to accept economic unfairness and the role of social inequality growing in her life . Sylvia, the protagonist of the story, initially did not want to acknowledge she was a victim of poverty. However, at the level of subconsciousness, we do not actually understand social inequality, but rather than ignoring the gap between wealthy people and the poor, it creates an economic situation that is inexorably disadvantaged It can be said. .

One of the main objectives of this document is to contrast and contrast the two characters in the selected short story. The first characters are Sylvia and Robert Frost 's poet "The Road Not Taken" written by Toni Cade Bambara' s "The Lesson". The reason to compare Silvia to a narrator is to compare individual choices. This course is a short story about African-American families. Children are cousins ​​of each other, living in a low level community.

Toni Cade Bambara's short story "The Lesson" was held in downtown New York. Sylvia, the hero, is a 14 year old African-American girl who tells stories in the first person's story. Sylvia mentioned Miss Moore, a teacher who believes her responsibility to help lesson children learn. Miss Moore felt lessons learned from a very expensive luxury toy store in FAO Schwarz, at the heart of Manhattan. Moore took her children to FAO Schwarz for symbolism by Bambara. Miss Moore uses FAO Schwartz's toys to convey the position of children in social ladders.

Toni Cade Bambara's "Course" is a short story about the turnkey moment in young girls' lives. Silvia vividly reminds me of the day I learned the life course that Miss Moore started. The core idea of ​​this story is that the actual life experience is the most influential experience. Silvia remembered the spiritual state of the day and she thought rather than Moore's educational tour trip, "I go to the pool to see cool performances." As you enter the city, Silvia will notice the economic wealth of the people living there and how much they possess. Silvia was shocked by an expensive toy shop. There was a place where Sylvia was angry and the headwheel began to rotate. On my way home, Sylvia thought how her mother reacts when Sylvia asks her to see the clown inside the store.
