When salesmen want you to buy their products, they usually put off a nice, placating tone of voice, trying to convince you that their product was the best. Smilin’s smile has a fake, forced quality about it, because he is trying to convince Granny that they had a right to come to her land and take pictures. After Granny makes it clear that she does not want him there, he still tries to convince her and calls her “Auntie.” This was very disrespectful because he was white and she was black and it was a rude thing to say. They soon left to walk around the land and tried to use their convincing techniques to convince Granddaddy to let them take pictures.

Actually, Matt did not change after being a famer. He can be a scholar; however, he just found out he like farming, too.
Along with her telling him that he should not call himself “The Misfit” because he is a good man at heart. Both of those are attempts to save her life, which is what most people would do in real- life in such a situation. Bailey is a typical father, not directing any attention when he feels his mother is talking non-sense about “The Misfit’s” escape from prison while reading the sports section of the newspaper. Bailey did not want to detour to look for the old house in the first place.

Sunday is my family’s day of rest and remembrance, we all gather around the table as a family. I make church attendance a must for my children, and my daughter is always in a dress during attendance. Respect and obedience is also a major value in my family.
She even stays home in order to prepare the dinner but, never the less, she thanks her family for this wonderful day with tears in her eyes. The author emphasizes that the family is conscious about the mother’s role in their life by using inversion to describe it: “how much Mother had done for us for years, and all the efforts and that sacrifice she had made for our sake”. Also he shows the importance of Mother’s Day with the help of comparison “A day just like Xmas” and epithet “such a big occasion”.
