The two characters I am going to compare are Flyboy and Mercedes and their responses to visiting the FAO Schwarz toy store. Flyboy is always calling someone out and ends up being wrong or he will cut someone off to jump to another topic. He can be sarcastic too. Mercedes is more so not like the other characters, she’s not I guess you can say disrespectful in the way she responds to a question. She seems to talk a lot too and has a bit more knowledge than the other kids. Flyboy does not seem to understand why some of the toys are the price that they are and he makes remarks, Mercedes seems more open and not as quick-witted as Flyboy. Mercedes seems more mature too, when they were all asked what they thought of the toy store Mercedes says she would like to go back there when she gets her birthday money, and Flyboy disregards the question altogether saying he’d like to shower since it was a tiring day for him.

One thought on “Justine Hoppie Discussion 4”
Justine, you’ve chosen two interesting characters. Mercedes does seem more mature, and yes, she is a bit apart from the other characters because of her higher economic status. However, does she learn anything from this visit to the toy store? Does she give any thought to the economic disparity revealed by the experience? Does she feel there are truths she ought to learn as a result of this visit to the store?
