The two characters from Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson” that I’ll talk about are Sylvia and Miss Moore. Sylvia is shown to be an arrogant person who doesn’t mind expressing herself, speaking fluently and unhindered, singing the truths if necessary, and freely just as she also seemed to dislike Miss. Moore. Sylvia got a different experience compared to the others as she was angry and distressed visiting FAO Schwarz because the prices in the store were close to what it might cost to feed some families meaning they were very expensive this showed the Economic inequality within their society. In the end, she ended up being an optical person to improve her life. In addition, Miss Moore is an educated person, a black woman who sought improvement for the children and her understanding of Sylvia’s thoughts towards her. However, the trip to FAO Schwarz was definitely an eye-opening experience for both Sylvia and all the children and it really gave them what society is like for different groups of people this was something that really made her see what Miss. Moore shared with her the same point of view on the unbalanced system in their society.
