My favorite reading this semester was “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. This story truly had a lesson, from the Author perspective it shows how African Americans struggle to live a life that’s equal and fear. “The lesson” make me feel that these ideas depicted belong to me as a child growing up watching my parents trying to figure out how and what we are going to eat today when things were bad at that time. I can relate to the group of kids, looking at the prices of things knowing how expensive things were and can’t afford them. I think that anybody that read this story get her message and reflect on this serious issue about inequality among the African American people living in the United States and raises the issues of injustice in the society. I learn a lot from reading this story and i appreciate the Author and how she choose the group of kids to spread her ideas.
