In Salvation by Langston Hughes the narrator starts off super naive in and gullible he had an obsession of being saved because it was what he was told for his whole life, he even got to the point of waiting for Jesus and he had an optimism to him but as the story goes on he starts to lose his sense of joy and optimism as he sees other children being saved while he wasn’t and by the end of the story he is lying to his family that the reason he is crying and hiding under the covers is because he was saved but the truth was he was the only one that didn’t get saved and didn’t know why. In the end he comes to the conclusion that because he didn’t see Jesus and that Jesus didn’t save him that he didn’t believe in jesus anymore because he didn’t see the point anymore after he felt abandoned.

“The lesson” was about these group of kids that were taken on a field trip to 5th Ave by Miss Moore. She took them on this trip to teach them about money show them how the other side lived, the group noticed how expensive things were. They were one person in the group that stood out her name were Mercedes it was obvious she was a clear difference in the group because it seems like money wasn’t hard for her to get so she was treated different. They noticed how expensive things were on that side of town, Miss Moore also were teaching them the value of money and to see how the other side lived.
