Sylvia is a dynamic character. In the beginning she depicts herself as an over-confident, egotistical, haughty girl “back in the days.” This indicates that now, in the present, she is no longer this way. She may have believed that “everyone was old and stupid or young and foolish and (her) and Sugar were the only ones just right,” but it is the clause at the beginning that indicates that a change has been made in her character. Her story unfolds with her younger self remaining the arrogant, terrible person she is, but in the end the change begins. Sugar, her friend who she believed to be “just right” starts sprinting off toward a restaurant in which they together had decided to spend the money they pocketed. As her friend gets ahead however, she doesn’t care because she decides to go “over to the drive to think (the) day through.” Perhaps this was the moment she made a step away from her old self and her old thoughts about the world or maybe she thinks that now, she’s the only one who is “just right”for she does conclude by saying “nobody gonna beat me at nuthin.”
