Question

Why do you think Jacqueline's mother wanted to return to South Carolina despite the dangerous conditions of the South? How do you think she feels about this decision in part 2?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Brown Girl Dreaming"

1. Jacqueline's mother decides to return to South Carolina, despite the dangerous conditions, because it is not possible to maintain her marriage. So she decides to return to her homeland, where she will have the support of her family and where she will be able to work while the family takes care of her children.

2. She is relieved, in a way, to get out of a marriage that was not doing her well, but she is also afraid for her future and the safety of her and her children, who will grow up in a dangerous environment like South Carolina.
