Two students that I picked after reading “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara” were Sugar and Rosie. Both of the girls had some mix feeling after visiting the Fao Schwarz toy store. Rosie has hopes that someday she will be able to go and visit the store again and actually buy something. Sugar comes to the realization to see the difference in income level. The money that one family of six could be used to be supported, was getting spent on a toy boat by another family. Both of their response are similar as they both target the wage gap between lower and middle to upper class. Rosie sees a light at the end of the tunnel where she’ll get to this level one day, and Sugar see the struggle it takes to even build up to that kind of level.
