Hello, my name is Brianna Sanchez. I am majoring in psychology. I like to listen to music and draw. In this course, I will be completing my assignments on time, participate in class discussions, and listen and focus carefully. I want to do my best this semester. To get back on my feet financially, I took a gap year. Despite the technological issues, I have been performing better since classes began because I am taking all of my subjects online. I enjoy taking online classes since they are now more convenient for me. I work 6 days a week, and although I tried to balance my work and class schedules. The only thing that was difficult was the commute to and from campus. Although it is near, for this semester at least, I want to take it easy and not stress myself out by commuting back and forth across the city when I can just stay at home in comfort and still have time for errands, work, and other activities.

I believe the quote “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply does not describe it” by C.S lewis represents ” The lesson ” by Toni Cade Bambara through accurately describing how what is portrayed in literature can often occur in the real world, especially ones relating to our current day society. Through the clever use of literary devices and different techniques, Bambara is able to describe the reality, which is often quite harsh surrounding certain people within different communities. I believe that it also carries the idea of how important literature and overall writing is to our present day lives, whether or not we consider it so. It depicts present day societal expectations that we see very commonly today. The story revolves around how prevalent and commonplace social and racial inequality was, and the overall message shows that literature can bring great value as it teaches us new perspectives and discover valuable lessons we carry with us today.
The quote “Literature adds to reality; it does not simply describe it” by C.S. Lewis embodies “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara because it shows a comparison and connection of real text to real-world affection that takes place in society as of the present. In this story we see how the woman -Miss Moore comes across Saliva and other kids who aren’t wealthy and takes them to a toy shop, leading them to want an expensive toy. As a lesson from Miss Moore, she begins to expand her thoughts about how young children should earn expensive/wants from working hard. Including that, she mentioned how stealing isn’t the right way but to work for what you want so you can obtain anything you see. This shows a connection to the real world as a kid because you can’t always have everything you want at a certain age but if you work hard for what you want, one day you will reach to have it and even more.
I feel like literature this quote embodies the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade because though these are words on paper, the words that are said and the way they are express is much more than a description. Its giving preceptive, it shows freedom of speech. The words used in the story gives much context on the tone, setting and what’s happening, however the perceptive that is give through the character we as reading are in the minds of, has been experience by many people while growing up. the feeling of other black being to “uppity” or “white speaking” / acting for their own good. I personal have gone through this because I spoke very “proper” around my black family and friends, but I’ve also experience black people feel “too good” to be around other black people and putting them down because they don’t pay the same amount of taxes. This piece of literature gives isn’t only a writing described by words. Its a story given with preceptives which can be related to many real experiences.
The lesson is an story by Toni Cade Bambara, which talks about the injustice, classism and social inequalities. Today we were assigned to discuss how does this quote “Literature adds to reality; it does not simply describe it” by C.S Lewis about literature embodied in “The Lesson”. This quote to me, is the an appropriate description of the importance of literature in our lives. Literature not only describes reality but also adds to it, and it picture the thinking patterns and social norms prevalent in society. story talks about social and racial inequality back then, and how Miss Moore, the children’s teacher, is pointing it out to the children by taking them to a trip to the city. And this is the connection between the lesson and how literature have influence in our lives.
The quote “Literature adds to reality; it does not simply describe it” by C.S Lewis means to enhance mandatory skills that life brings to you/adds depth into your life and this shows throughout the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. In the story, a black woman named Miss Moore came across Silvia and these other unprivledged kids and decided to take them to a toy store. The kids wanted to buy a sailboat in the store but they realized that it’s too much money. Miss Moore then goes on to tell them how people work hard to get their money and not decide to start stealing things. This goes to show how some people are priveledged and unpriveledged with their lives and you can’t get everything you want in your life. This goes to show a more sensitive understanding of true disparities in the economic world and how people earn for what they work for.
