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.

Hello, Stephanie. I really enjoyed your discussion board and agreed with everything you had to say. I would like to add on by saying that I agree that Miss Moore’s lesson was meant to encourage kids to work hard in life, but I would also say that Miss Moore wanted to shine light on the economic inequality of the USA. You can see that Miss Moore is successful in teaching this lesson by the bitter and frustrated attitude of Sylvia at the end of the story as she comes to realization of the place she holds in society. Overall, I thought your post was very thoughtful and informative. I really enjoyed reading it.
I agree it shows more so connect to the story rather just something on the page.
