I don't read a lot of stories, and this was exactly why. Reading this story was one of the hardest things I have ever done. The narrator had no sense of grammar neither did any of the characters. It was very tough for me to read. Although it was very tough for me to read, it was also a very interesting read. Even though it was a tough read, I would like to believe tht i got the message that this story was trying to convey. I believe that Miss Moore is trying to teach the kids how unfair and one sided theiss world is. She takes the kids to a toy store and shows them how the poor and middle class cannot afford these types of luxuries and only the rich can afford it.
In this story, one of the kids goes on to explain how with a thousand dollars a rich man can give a child one toy, but they will be able to feed 7 kids for a year. This is a very powerful message because it is saying that a rich person does not understand the value of a dollar as much as a poor man does. This is only because the poor has so little that much appreicate everything they have. Miss Moore tries to treach these kids the value of the dollar and that they should never think of it as an object but a way to survive. At the end of the story, the point gets across to every single child and Miss Moore has successfully taught her lesson.
