“The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara
1/ Which character did you identify with most in the story? Name and describe this character. Also, point to one scene of the story that you particularly identified with.
2/ Consider each character’s first response to F.A.O. Schwarz (toy store). Why do you think Bambara included the responses of the other characters instead of just focusing on the narrator’s response? Investigate the role of the other characters in the story.

1. The story begins in the second person and then switches to first. What did you think about the change in point of view?
2. Lola and her mother have a very difficult relationship. How did Lola’s response to her mother’s cancer affect your ability to relate to Lola as a character? Did your opinion of Lola change after you learned of her mother’s response to her molestation?
