Her first attitude is one of irritation. It is the summer and Sylvia does not want to be sitting through this boring lecture. She would “rather go to the pool or to the show where it is cool”(Bambara 1148). As Miss Moore is lecturing about money, Sylvia could care less towards what she is saying, she hears Miss Moore, but she doesn’t listen to her. On that particular day, however, Miss Moore decides to teach them a lesson at a New York City toy store.
“Handcrafted sailboat of fiberglass at one-thousand-one-hundred-ninety-five dollars” make the children feel like for “that much money it should last forever.” Sylvia does not like how Miss Moore is always teaching them lessons and how she is getting them to see that they are so poor. Sugar, Sylvia's cousin, notices she can please Miss Moore if she she just agrees with her the whole time. At the time, Sylvia refused to please Miss Moore but just remains being her stubborn self. By the end of the story Sugar realizes that all though they may live in a poor ghetto town without a lot of money they, “got four dollars anyway.” Sylvia agrees with Sugar but also thinks that “aint nobody gonna beat me at nothin.” Sylvia’s mentality now is that she may have some things, but in order to get more and become successful she needs to get an education like Miss Moore. Even though Sylvia refused to agree with Miss Moore while she was educating them, in the end Miss Moore got her point across and got Sylvia to think about how to succeed in her own

“Not much,” (25) she replies. This shows that the Little Seamstress is uncivilized because she cannot read much. She even says that she is only educated at an elementary level. After the boys meet the Little Seamstress, they begin to change her throughout the novel through love, imagination, and Balzac. During the boys re-education through hard labor they meet Four-Eyes, who they suspect to have a suitcase full of banned western books.
Eerie music fills the streets, making everyone feel that they are part of a horror movie.

For most parents and their little girls it is just good fun. They do not take the beauty pageants seriously. For a few parents the beauty pageants become an obsession. This is when beauty pageants for children can suddenly become very harmful. “Critics of the industry warn that the stresses of competition, coupled with an extreme focus on physical appearance, can have a negative effect long before these girls will be eligible for Miss America.” (Triggs, West and Aradillas 160-168) The loss of self-esteem, the inability to show a full range of emotions, the fear of failure, the extreme focus on physical image, and the discord with or fear of parents are a few of the symptoms those little girls will suffer from.

Auman English 10 Mr. Swenson November 9, 2014 “A Pair of Silk Stockings” by Kate Chopin The short story “A Pair of Silk Stockings” by Kate Chopin was a good example of what a single parent experiences in her daily life. Mrs. Sommers was a mother that puts her children before herself. She came across a decent amount of money but was captured by her own desires and forgot about her children. In “A Pair of Silk Stockings” the tone seems to be depressing at first then to exciting then back to depressing. The emotions were a rollercoaster.
Girls have been seen dressed up as Dolly Parton wearing padding on their chest and bottom to pull of the full celebrity look. These girls wear false eyelashes, have their teeth whitened or even wear fake teeth because they may have just lost their first tooth, and even have their legs waxed. These moms portray loosing teeth as an ugly thing when children should be focusing on it being an exciting time of their life and enjoying rewards from the tooth fairy and showing off all their gaps in their gums to their friends, not trying to cover that up. They are trying to have their little girls grow up way too fast. The most disturbing stories are those of mothers giving their
