Read the passage from "I Know Why the Caged Bird
Sings
Mrs. Flowers didn't belong to our church, nor was she
Momma's familiar. Why on earth did she insist on
calling her Sister Flowers?Shame made me want to
hide my face.-Mrs Flowers deserved better than to be
called Sister. Then, Momma left out the verb Why not
ask, "How are you Mrs. Flowers?" With the
unbalanced passion of the young, I hated her for
showing her ignorance to Mrs. Flowers. It didn't occur
to me for many years that they were as alike as sisters.
separated only by formal education.
