1) Miss Moore seems to be placing blame on the rich. "Imagine for a minute what kind of society it is in which some people can spend on a toy what would cost to feed a family of six or seven. What do you think?" (201)
2) I don't believe miss Moore was trying to teach the kids a lesson instead I believe she wanted them to become more aware of what kind of world they were living in. On page 201 Sugar says that all of them together don't eat as much as the toy boat cost.
3) The concluding line does have more than one meaning although the two friends were just racing, it seems as if Sylvia is also saying she wont let anyone defeat her in life.
4) I am in the middle I believe Sylvia's attitude can sometimes overshadow her intelligence and resilience.
5) The way the story is written is perfect not only does it capture the vernacular but also gives a glimpse at what kind of educational opportunities there were by choosing to not clean up the language.
