Corey Lei Discussion 4

The characters I plan on talking about would be Sylvia and Sugar.  In the beginning, they were just kids in a neighborhood doing what kids do, then a lady name Miss Moore moved in and taught the class Sylvia and Sugar are in.  Miss Moore asked the type of kids if they knew what money was. She then brought the course to a toy store called FAO Schwarz. The kids then began touching and looking at multiple toys, wishing those toys were theirs and how a kid name Mercedes said, “My father buy it for me if I wanted it.” Sylvia and Sugar were shocked by the price tags in the store. Sylvia saw a thirty-five-dollar clown. She started comparing what she could buy with thirty-five dollars; the whole household could visit Grand-daddy Nelson in the country, pay the rent, the piano bill, and a bunk bed for Junior and Gretchen’s boy. Sylvia was so shocked that a toy could cost so much. Sugar, on the other hand, started talking about the cost of a toy and society, “Imagine for a minute what kind of society it is in which some people can spend on a toy what it would cost to feed a family of six or seven. What do you think?.” Sylvia is unhappy about Sugar talking all smart, so she tries forcing Sugar to shut up by stomping her. Sylvia seems jealous and mad about how smart Sugar was talking in class, so in the end, Sylvia leaves Sugar and goes on her way, saying, “ain’t nobody going to beat me at Nuthin.”
