Dawn Delfino Discussion 3

I would title this story “The Harsh Realities of Life”.  Miss Moore was teaching life lessons to these kids in the neighborhood.  They all come from different backgrounds, and they all live in Harlem.  Silivia being the leader of the friend group, she seemed confident in her surroundings before Miss Moore started showing them different things in life. She taught them about money. What money can buy.  She took them on trips to different places other than Harlem where they lived.  When they realized how other people live, well Silivia felt ashamed when she couldn’t afford what she wanted to buy.  She has always been really tough and sarcastic, but now she wasn’t the leader. She always wanted to do what she wanted to do, and nobody was going to tell her any different.  Maybe her home life wasn’t the best, and that’s the way she dealt with it.  Miss Moore was trying to show them the situation they were living in, and that you don’t have to stay in that situation if you get your education and work really hard the sky is the limit.
