Question

One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledgehammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall. But of course all this does not show on television. I am the way my daughter would want me to be: a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake.

Answer 1

the author reveals that she is a simple woman

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt is derived from the story "everyday use." In story, the author demonstrates that she is just an ordinary person who lives life in the same way as any other person. In fact, the woman, or mama as she is known, is revealing that there is nothing that is fancy about her until she meets the character by the name of Dee on the Johnny Carson show. This changed the perspective of herself. In fact, she once described herself as a "big boned woman" who possess rough hands like that of a man. She also described how being fat would help her in winter.
