Answer:
D. people cannot help others until they learn to help themselves
Explanation:

Answer:
a) She sees Mrs. Flowers as larger than life.
Explanation:
Marguerite was the young girl in Maya Angelou's <em>I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings</em>, which is an autobiographical account of her life. Marguerite learns from the women in her life on how to fully accept her identity as a black woman while at the same time making a life of her own. One of these women is Mrs. Bertha Flowers.
The very first description of Mrs. Flowers says it all for us. Maya states Mrs. Flowers <em>"had the grace of control to appear warm in the coldest weather, and on the Arkansas summer days it seemed she had a private breeze which swirled around, cooling her"</em>. As we read along, Maya again declared that <em>"
she was one of the few gentlewomen I have ever known, and has remained throughout my life the measure of what a human being can be"</em>. These statements show how our narrator is in owe of the woman.
McCandles describes what he is looking for on his odyssey, particularly on the Alaska trip, as "ultimate freedom". It would seem that this largely represents, to him, freedom from other people's rules and authority over him. Throughout his whole life he finds authority particuarly oppressive, especially when exercised by anyone who feels only has such power over him. To live completely alone, in a world where the only laws he feels the need to follow are those of nature, is to him ultimate freedom.<span />
