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.
