           In the story, Ms.Moore wants to achieve the teaching of middle school students a "lesson" to teach students about something valueable. It is necessary of teaching the students how to be responsible for their behaviors, what should do and what should not do. For instance, in the story, while looking at the window of the toy store, Sugar asks: "we could steal?" I was shocked, thinking Sugar does not realize the how serious the circumstance was until she saw the price tag of toy, it is something their age could not afford to buy. And the end, although not everyone getting what Ms. Moore trying to hit up in the lesson, but at least one of the students realizes what was occuring to her. She accomplished getting that one student to learn her "Lesson", the only way for her to ever afford the good things of life is to become educated, knowledge is money. She realizes what to do in the future, the "lesson" did not go wasted on her.
