Siu Kwan Eddie Tsui Discussion 10

I will be working on the author Toni Cade Bambara and her short story “The Lesson.” The story’s central theme is economic injustice, supported by the characters and their trip to FAO Schwartz.
I will be looking for a critical essay or a biography that analyzes the story’s central theme and the characters in the story.
I have searched through the JSTOR database and found four articles on the lesson, and while they were thoughtful critiques of “The Lesson,” I didn’t think they would help further my thesis. I also searched through the Gale in Context / Biography database and found several biographies, but unfortunately, the information wasn’t detailed enough to help analyze the short story I chose.
I also searched through the Literature Resource Center, and I found several articles on “The Lesson,” but I didn’t think these would fit well either. Finally, I looked through the Short Story Criticism database, and I found one article that seemed pretty promising. I will be using an essay by Melanie A. Marotta called “Teaching Toni Cade Bambara Teaching: Learning with the Children in Toni Cade Bambara’s ‘The Lesson’.” for my research article.
