Analysis Of The Lesson By Toni Cade Bambara

When picking a fiction story to focus on, I decided to choice the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. This amazing story about poor Harlem children learning an important lesson had a well-rounded characters and a well created plot. What is a plot, you ask? A plot is used to describe the events that make up a story or the main parts of the story. It helps raises dramatic questions as a reader has from the beginning to the end. A plot is the process of questioning the question around the outcome of each and every dramatic or undramatic purpose that gets the audience thinking about what is going to happen and what has happened. In “The Lesson” by having a well-educated African American women character move into the town of poor Harlem children,

We start to question ourselves. But then we read further into the story, and the children are all at the store saying prices, and how they wish they had that, and how they want that. And then we start to think again, and now this is what plot does, makes us question, our own questions. And soon then we start to figure out what the plot is about, how inequality is a problem, and how racism is a bigger problem, and start to figure out almost everything before the end of the story. And because readers start to get deep into the story and start to experience what the characters in the
