Fatima Butt week 4 discussion

The two characters I chose are Sylvia and Sugar. When they first approach the store, FAO Schwarz, I feel like although Sugar is more eager and open to visiting, Sylvia kind of has a nasty attitude about it. When they enter, Sylvia instantly feels like she does not belong there, because of her background and where/how she grew up. Sugar seems to be enjoying the experience and taking it all in. She’s grateful that she can be there. She admires the toys, even though she knows that she cannot afford the toys there, she’s having a good time just looking around/window shopping. I can understand why Sylvia felt the way she did. As a kid, it must be tough wanting all these things but not being able to have access to them due to financial reasons. These kids must see other kids in the store buying the toys and it’s understandable to feel a certain type of way about it.
