I found it interesting that as the reader of the story, I was able to figure out the lesson before Sylvia – or at least understand the story better than her. Sylvia continued to try to escape reality and daydreams of places she would rather be. For example, when Miss Moore takes her into a cab and asks her to calculate the tip, Sylvia sticks her head of the window and goofs around. She can’t figure out the tip at the end because she is not focusing on reality. She especially doesn’t want Miss Moore to teach her a moralizing lesson. It is like Sylvia has a strong destination of what she thinks of pertains to her; she knows what is reality and what is in her head.
