Select the correct answer. What is the meaning of this excerpt from "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker?
In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands. In the winter I wear flannel nightgowns to bed and overalls
during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day, breaking
ice to get water for washing, I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter
knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer 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. My hair glistens in the hotbright lights. Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty
tongue.
