TEWWG pg 2

"What she doing coming back her in dem overhalls? Cant she find no dress to put on? Where's dat blue satin dress she left her in. Where all dat money her husband took and died and left her..."

This paragraph gives a lot of background information about the girl in the story very quickly. We learn that she is widowed and once had money but apparently lost it to another man. She is most likely a hard-working woman considering she comes home in overalls after other people in her neighborhood are already done and sitting on their porches. We also get a view of her community and how the people talking don't have much to do considering how much they know about other people's business and we also get a feeling that the people don't have much of an education because of the way they talk.
