She is bitter about her circumstances, and points a lot of that bitterness at Miss Moore for forcing her to take off her blinders and recognize the injustices that are forced upon her. These feelings about her reality then actualize as harsh judgements for the people, places, and things around her. I personally believe that Sylvia places these judgements so that she can feel better about herself and her situation amidst her anger and disdain. If I were writing an essay on this concept, I would name it \u201cA Slighted Sylvia\u201d. At the end of the day, Sylvia\u2019s expressed interest lies in what she personally has gained from the excursion, which is Miss Moore\u2019s money. The coincidence here is that there is a judgement and jealousy of people with money, but for her, getting this money overshadows any outward commentary on the lesson that she learned from Miss Moore and their day at F.A.O Schwartz.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18298\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt size-medium wp-image-18298\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1-528x297.jpg 528w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/eng-201-introduction-to-literature-spring-2025-conway\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4079\/2025\/02\/FAO-Schwarz1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FILE -In this Monday, Nov. 21, 2011 file photo, shoppers pause outside of the Fifth Avenue FAO Schwarz in New York.
