I think that for this easy I would focus my thesis on analyzing the variation of characters that we have in the story. I would start with Silvia which I think we can agree could be one of the main characters of the story. I would focus my opinion on the fact that she may be a good girl that is trying to not be seen as someone vulnerable. I think that her personality is a product of that behavior too. I think that I will also write about Miss. Moore because she is very important in the story too. I think that my title for this essay could be “A reality shock Story.” This could (not that is going to be my actual title) be my title for this essay. I think that can help me to explain some of what happened in this story. Maybe later I’ll come up with something better but for now, I think that could work as a title for this essay.

Hi Gabriela Gonzalez
I like the title you created, “A Reality Shock Story.” I also believe that Ms. Moore is the most important character in the story. She is the only one who went to college to earn a degree, and now she is dedicating all her efforts to helping the poor community. She is assisting these underprivileged kids in escaping their neighborhood by exposing them to the big city and showing them the beauty of the world that wealthy people experience. Education is the key to breaking the shackles on these kids
Gabriela, working titles are valid. We can always change the title along the way, but having a title in mind can often keep writers on track with their ideas. I like your take on Sylvia—and this would be a great focus on an essay that is not about the socio-economic issues in the story—and how she hides her vulnerability under that tough, snarky exterior.
