The quote I decided to use fro my essay was “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it” by C.S Lewis meaning that literature evolves all around the world. Literature shows a different type of view in any circumstance without judging and in the story by Toni Cade Bambara’s story “The Lesson” Sylvia was taken to see two different aspects in society and seeing the difference between the rich and the poor and race. In this view it gives of look of competency because its if they were to be competing for which society side it better. Rich people don’t have poor people problems, “the poor” struggle to pay and earn certain privileges, “the rich” not so much. Their world are normally seen to get things easier, be able to afford and sometimes not be appreciative and want more.

One thought on “Daisy Gonzalez Week 5 discussion”
Hello Daisy, I agree with your short response to your quote chosen because in “The Lesson” the kids were exposed to a high society point of view where they aren’t used to and don’t know how you earn things such as materialism in today’s society. However, “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it” is a good quote to compare with the stories through positivity and negativity in life and connection to our world to text outcome.
