MLA Annotated Bibliography: Rhetorical Analysis of “Bambara’s the Lesson”
Bambara, Toni Cade. “TheLesson.” 2016. Forsyth Tech Blackboard. PDF file. 19 June 2016. In this short story, one of fifteen in “Gorilla, My Love”, Bambara takes us on a field trip with a makeshift student class from Harlem. We get a glimpse at what it might be like growing up in a less privileged area. Bambara endears readers to her characters by giving each a subtly different background, allowing almost everyone to relate to them, if only in a small way. In the 1960s and 1970s, Bambara wrote fiction, academic, and even produced screenplays. She was a very politically driven writer often described as a feminist. Her story is the primary source of this paper.

He suggests that although many readers are not wrong in their conclusions of economic injustice; moreover, they perhaps need to look at the overall concept of lessons themselves. In this writing, Cartwright argues against Dr. Nancy D. Hargrove’s essay point by point while maintaining her perspective is valuable. This is the secondary source I have chosen for my Rhetorical Analysis. Cartwright's view speaks to ideas about conflict and consequence that urge to be further analyzed.
Wright, Katy M. "The Role of Dialect Representation in Speaking from the Margins: “the Lesson" of Toni Cade Bambara." Style 42.1 (2008): 73,83,98-99,102. ProQuest. Web. 19 June 2016. This 2008 scholarly journal feature provides in-depth looks at the dialects used in “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara. The author compares Standard American English (SAE) and African American English (AAE). By breaking down the vocabulary Bambara used down to the last letter, Wright gives us thought provoking ideas to her opinion of the meaning behind each of Bambara’s words, encouraging us to look deeper than the surface. The scope of Katy Wright’s paper is fascinating. While I do not see it being the best option for my analysis, I find immense interest in her research.
