Question

21. Analyze the grandmother's emotions in "Blues Ain't No Mockin Bird." (1 point)

Answer 1

Answer:

She resents the cameramen's presence because it makes her feel inferior.

Explanation:

Grandmother - called Granny by the author in the story - is angry with the presence of the white cameraman that is trying to exploit the life and habits that they have as a family and make a story about poor people and food stamps.

In that kind of relationship, the cameraman is posing as a wealthier person, knows better, observes the poorness as something exotic, interesting and worthy of the "story" for the state.

That is why Granny feels inferior. She sees the fact that the cameraman is trying to make a story about poorness and lesser living from their life, and she doesn't like to be observed by someone who finds publicizes her and sees her alien in a pejorative way.
