“The Lesson” begins with a presumably older Sylvia looking back on her childhood, and how, from her perspective, everyone else is wrong, and she and her best friend and cousin Sugar are “the only ones just right.” The story focuses on a woman named Miss Moore who moves into a home on their block and is quite different from the other neighbors.
In “The Lesson,” any time one kid tries to lift themselves up by imagining something different, the others mock and threaten them back into the group think, a motif that plays out again and again.
