During my childhood I also used to do ballet and practice gymnastics and athletics. And volleyball.

The children were always happy and safe with me. During snack time she would come into the room criticize my choice of snack, make comments to the children about things they needed to do or not do, which she made sure I heard because they were really meant for me.

In the short story The Lesson, the author Toni Cade Bambara explains the past life of main character Sylvia, who was a little girl that lived in a poor town along with her family. She mentions how a group of children (including Sylvia) goes on a “field trip” to a toy store called F.O.A Schwarz on Fifth Avenue with their teacher, where they get a glimpse of a life they didn’t know about.

Walker is imitating behaviors she has viewed from older women in her community and actresses in movies that she watched. The behavior that Walker showcases during the first stage of innocence is similar to the behaviors the character
At the beginning of the poem the girl is portrayed as a typical little girl without a care in the world. Her parents and family members presented her with gifts and toys like any other child would be. She receives gifts like Barbie dolls, play ovens and pretend make up. Piercy uses an anaphora in the first stanza as she repeats the word “and” three times (2,3,4). This is an effective strategy because it stresses the amount of gifts the girl is given to play with.
India, a girl from a working-class family of color, has quickly sketched a stick figure of herself as a blond, blue-eyed elementary school teacher who stands before a class of a dozen smiling students.
