Question

Exit Ticket: Reflect on the three women in

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Mama is a woman full of experience and who knows the world better than her daughters. She is a single mother, she had to raise her daughters alone which is very difficult, besides having to work hard to support the family. This gave Mama a raw and realistic perception of her reality and her construction as a woman and as a black woman in society. She doesn't have time to create fanciful ideas about herself and her daughters and that is what makes her such a real and tangible character for us, because her story is the story of many women around the country.

Maggie has high low esteem. Perhaps that is why she is so passive about her sister's wishes and whims. I believe that Maggie does not see herself as a valued member of her family, not even in the society where she lives. She feels diminished, irrelevant and unimportant and that is why she is such an obedient character, doing everything that is right for her. Perhaps Maggie is looking for approval and recognition and that is what sums up her behavior.

Unlike Maggie, Dee has a lot of self-confidence and a high esteem. She embraces her roots and personality tightly and takes positions that often seem inappropriate and redundant, but that she maintains because it is part of what she believes to be correct and appropriate. Dee is explosive and despite being polite, she is negligent with her family's feelings and thoughts, as well as being a strong judge of her mother and sister.
