Answer 1

Alice walker's mother had eight children and she worked as a sharecropper. She was poor but ensured all of her children were educated.

Explanation:

Alice Walker's mother had eight children and to feed them she had a very low paying work of a sharecropper which she did with her husband.

They were able to feed eight children and with their poor environment they still made sure that the eight children were able to get a proper education as Alice was the youngest out of them all and she received very good education.

This is something that Walker narrates as a big achievement of her mother and something because of which she became what she is.
