Khadijah Munajj Final Discussion

My favorite reading this semester is “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, this short story was a bit comedic and relatable. A lot of us have gone into stores and have seen ridiculous prices for minuscule gadgets, a lot of us budget to buy stuff we need rather than want. One might think to themselves “why aren’t I in on it” like Sylvia thought. I found Sylvia’s personality so hilarious and spunky, she had control over the whole gang and when she didn’t she threw a fit. She disliked Miss Moore so much, but Sylvia did understand that Miss Moore was smart and could teach them things. Even though Miss Moore knew the such dislike Sylvia had for her she gave Sylvia leadership of the whole group, she gave her a sense of responsibility.
