A. to tell about her childhood
B. to prompt readers to think about what growing up as an African American girl in C. poverty was like

An advantage of hearing this scene as opposed to just reading it would be that you can hear the characters' tone of voice, which helps you understand how they are really feeling. You could tell how the women really feel about their space being interrupted and intruded on. You also would have an easier time differentiating the characters, by their voices.
