In my research paper i will be writing about Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson”. This story is about a group a students learning the racial inequality on the meaning of money. For my research i will be using the article called “The role of dialect representation in speaking from the margins: “The Lesson” of Toni Cade Bambara” by Katy M. Wright. When reading this article, the author mentions how Toni Cade Bambara uses foul language with the character named Sylvia to show stronger emotion when talking about the trip to the toy store. I am using this article as it was one of the articles that stood out the most when describing the emotions of the characters in “The Lesson” and the way Toni Cade Bambara uses them. In “The Lesson” Toni Cade Bambara likes to have their characters do most of the talking instead of the teacher named “Miss Moore” because the students are the ones learning.

Hey angel I also chose to write about The Lesson in my paper as well because I think their is a lot of information in the reading that can be written about and explained in a way, I liked the second resource you found to include in your writing because I have been going through for a while over a few readings and could not really find much but I definitely seen some that have caught my eyes like yours and have similar ideas in both readings.
Hello Angel.
I am looking reading your post in the final essay. In the future, I am interesting in knowing what is about “The role of dialect representation in speaking from the margins: “The Lesson” of Toni Cade Bambara” by Katy M. Wright. I had seen a lot of students been choosing to write about the short story ” The Lesson’ and I’m looking to read it.
By the way, where did you get that secondary source from?
What is your thesis statement?
