In the story”The Lesson”, by Toni Cade Bambara, the character Sylvia is an example of a dynamic character. At the beginning of the story she said “everyone was old and stupid or young and foolish and me and Sugar were the only ones just right” (195). This was written in past tense, implying that things/she is different now. She was haughty and arrogant with a perception of the world that everyone was wrong but her friend and her. By the end of the story would rather go off by herself and “think this day through” (202) instead of going to spend her money with Sugar, like how she would have before she was taught a lesson.
