Other than a discussion about economic disparity, lack of equal opportunity, racial inequity, and other broad social issues I would probably write an essay about “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara discussing and focusing on how the main character acts and thinks. From what the story provided it seems as though the main character does not have a mom or dad. Which makes me think that the main character probably had a hard life and in their life some things are out of their control , but with her friend group she is the one in charge and the one who makes the discussions. Like the times in your life when things aren’t going too great and you feel like you can’t do anything about it, but you still have something under your control and you clutch on to that, and when there are new changes you feel uncomfortable , lost and confused like how the main character was reacting to here friend speaking up and the main characters new thoughts while coming back from the school trip. I think I would title this essay “Out of my control “ or “ the fear of the unknown”
