Miss Moore vs Sugar
Miss Moore is most likely the teacher for the group of kids. She is the one that took the group to the toy store and her response to the experience was probably the calmest of everyone. She planned the trip out to teach the kids the lesson and has seen this before in her life but she is still in this lower class of people. In the end, she was very happy that her lessons came through for some of the students for example Sugar, who is the narrator’s friend who also lives in Harlem with her family, who spoke up about the inequality she saw after the trip. Sugar started out the trip by asking “Can we steal?” Sugar asks very seriously like she’s getting the ground rules squared away before she plays.” (2). this really showed her thinking process of how stealing is normal where she lived but then she see the boat which made her realize the inequality in the society.
One thought on “Wyman Siu Discussion 4”
I like how you said Sylvia sees the boat, which made her realize the inequality in society. She was very jealous when Sugar was touching it also. Miss Moore brings the kids out to the toy store, and while all the kids are shocked about the prices, Sugar, on the other hand, realizes that life does seem unfair. In the end, that’s why she starts talking about equality. Sugar says, ” Can we Steal,” a significant point showing how life is a struggle, getting something you want but can’t afford. I love the way you explained it
