If I were to write an essay on “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, I would probably write about childhood development and how it’s affected by different aspects. The title would be ” A Journey Through Childhood Development”. The introduction would give a quick idea of how someone’s childhood could have effects on a person’s current, and future, way of life and how it relates to the story. Each body paragraph would focus on how various interactions and thoughts affect the children differently, such as how Miss Moore tries to teach them in varying ways, the children’s view on her lessons (and each other) throughout the story, and how the children begin to change by the end. I would include certain parts from the story, like how the children realize how the world works, how they all want their piece, and how Sylvia starts to think through what she was being taught and how that could affect her future.

Hi Jonathan, very interesting topic. I totally agree with you. Childhood Development would be an ideal topic to write about. This would absolutely give readers an insight on the someone’s livelihood and how it impacts with the choices made and which would eventually have the individual become aware that these choices would have an impact on their future.
Jonathan, an essay about the impact of Miss Moore on the various characters is good. However, for ENG 201, avoid issues outside the bounds of the story, such as childhood development. For this class, all observations must relate directly the story and its characters.
