Julia Longboat Week 4 Discussion

In the short story the characters Rosie Girafee and Sugar had two different takes from the toy store. I think Rosie sees the surface level of the problem opposed to the actual depth that Sugar sees and actual points out. The kids are having a good time and admiring the toys they simply never could have. By the end Sugar realizes that what they all eat in one year could sum to the amount the white kids are getting to purchase in toys and to actually  see that in front of her made her understand the differences. As for Rosie Girafee she sees the prices and just thinks to herself that white people are ridiculous for spending that kind of money but nothing deeper, nothing as to the race differences and the fundamental issues that lie in front of them at this store. It could be that she’s too young and naive to understand but it seems to hit Sugar like a truck. She left the toy store with a whole new perspective on life.
