First of all, it's not exactly clear what is "normal" - this changes from generation to generation and for example the traditional family used to be considered "normal" but now all other kinds of families are normal too.
Second, there is typically a big generational difference between family members, so it's hard to say that they function "as a whole"
For these reasons I don't think this statement is true.
A family dinner just kidding violent family relations but I aren’t sure so don’t put this in check my answer first
During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of African Americans, enslaved and free, was often discouraged, except for religious instruction, and eventually made illegal in many of the Southern states. It was believed that literacy was a threat to the institution of slavery. First, literacy facilitated knowledge about the successful slave revolution in Haiti of 1791–1804, the end of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, and the writings of abolitionists. Secondly, literacy allowed or potentially allowed slaves better access to information about the Underground Railroad and other routes to freedom.
I go with D, it looks like the clearing in the story symbolizes to Jody a place to hunt wolves and bears, I can infer that from the description of the story.
