Answer: C. To delineate the years of her life before she left Eatonville, when she had a simpler understanding of racial matters

Explanation:

Neale recalls how she used to live in Eatonville, Florida, an exclusively "colored town," where white people where only tourists or people passing by the town, so she didn´t kite understand the racial social issues. It´s only when she´s sent to school in Jacksonville, with mostly white people, that she realized the meaning of the color of her skin, and therefore, she didn´t feel like "Zora of Orange County" nor "Zora of Eatonville," but a "little colored girl."
