Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses how Miss Moore, in the short story "The Lesson," uses a story to try to get the children from her neighborhood to think about where they stand in society and differences between culture and class.

From the Paper
"Sometimes everything feels like it's going to be the same forever. Parents children jobs homes all seem to roll into one identical day after another.
