Tammy made decent grades all throughout her grade and high school years. She spent a lot of her time outdoors and also helping her mother Birdie cook huge meals every Sunday in their kitchen. Tammy had many dreams of what she would become as an adult and often could not wait to grow up and experience anything and everything the world had to offer.

Every Sunday and major holidays she would cook so much food, she would beg me to take some home with me. But not only was she a good cook, she was very comforting and inspirational.

It will allow me to research on a more personal level rather than just through scholar sources. My inspiration for this theme came from memories as a child, on a Sunday all of my Nana’s six children, spouses and twelve grandchildren would gather at her home for Sunday dinner. The kitchen was the main attraction as we all knew we were in for an unforgettable treat, even if the menu was the same as last weeks. All the women gathered in the kitchen each designated a specific job and no matter how big or small, it was important because, without it dinner would not be the

The other tone that is seen throughout this poem is the mother’s responses. As we read, we comprehend how the mother answers with joy and excitement, like any mother would. “Here are thousands of meals, she said. And here is clothing and good education” (27-28).
