In “The lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara it shows more than the socio-economic issues. The story shows how Sylvia’s inner feelings impact her in a way she didn’t expect and how she comes to a realization. Throughout the story we can see her anger by the way she talks. Sylvia says “What I want to know is,” I says to Miss Moore though I never talk to her, I wouldn’t give the bitch that satisfaction”. Sylvia has a defiant attitude because she struggles with her pride. Her attitude is shown more to Miss Moore who is trying to teach them a lesson. She starts feeling emotions like shame and shyness and this frustrates her. She questions why she feels like this and at the end she came to a realization and her anger was now towards a determination that nothing will stop her.

One thought on “Evelyn Ramos_Week 3 dissucsion”
Evelyn, I think a discussion of Sylvia’s character with a focus on her anger would be quite interesting. There is plenty to say about it.
