The Lesson

So the day of class on 9/15 we started talking about two stories called: The Lesson and Me Talk Pretty One Day. I really enjoyed The Lesson, I thought it was a really fun read. Usually reading autobiographies, memoirs, or even a fictional story about every day life, bores me and I dislike having to read it. However, I thought that The Lesson really captured the essence of that a lot of ghetto or poor neighborhoods have children that are really uneducated children who really give up on ever getting better and becoming and educated individual. It also shows that some people really care and want to change this, people like Ms. Moore. Throughout the story that kids never really wanted to learn anything, they hardly wanted to go on the trip that Ms. Moore was taking them on, and even at the end of the day it really didn't seem like they cared what Ms. Moore had to say. Overall the story was well written and well established, the characters actually seemed to be real and plausible to be real people.
