It makes Cora stand out a lot because she was unashamed of having the kid of a white man before marriage. https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266339 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266339 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:44:36 -0400 This shows that because Cora was the oldest, she was responsible for taking care of her family along with her parents. In lower social classes this was often the case, and children had to quit school early so they could work for money. https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266334 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266334 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 10:40:10 -0400 answer to the general document question https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266329 https://nowcomment.com/documents/305195?scroll_to=3266329 It shows that because Cora was African American, she was expected to serve others. We can also see that they had less opportunities because her siblings all left Milton for their careers and marriages because there were more opportunities in other places.

I found contrast because it lists a decent attribute of the town then follows up with something bad about it.It seems like a town of mostly middle class people, (which the middle class was growing around that time) and it also shows that the Jenkins were looked down upon because of their social class.
