We see that shes never been able to do the things that are for her or her interest but she has constantly been serving others and making sacrifices for others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266336 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266336 Cora did not have a play time which shows she has not had much time to have fun, but always needed to be doing something for someone else. Cora is nurturing because all her life she had to take care of her younger siblings and be almost like a mom to them. When COra quit school to work and make money for her family this shows that she did not have much expectations about her future and what she was interested in, but her while life was to be lived to take care of the needs that her family could not do and she lived to help her family stay alive.

One contrast is "a station, but no trains that stopped". This shows that this is a very unpopular place to go and be. This helps us see that the social class here was probably poor and a low place to live since it was a place of poverty and not many people. Tue, 17 Mar 2026 13:34:26 -0400 This shows us the social norms during this day about Jessie and how her family was so ashamed of her and that she was pregnant. They would've done anything to keep a good reputation for their family. https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266327 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266327 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:33:07 -0400 In this Paragraph we see Cora getting pregnant with Joe and having her baby from Joe. This is showing us how Cora felt about relationships with people or different races and she was unashamed because having this baby was a way to unite two worlds. https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266290 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266290 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:17:45 -0400 This Paragraph about Cora displays injustice in Cora's personal life with her family and how she had to take care of her siblings. This shows how she didn't have a common upbringing but had to give up her education to take care of other peoples tasks. https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266282 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266282 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:10:52 -0400
