“Thanky Ma’am. Ah hates dat woman lak poison. Keep her from round dis house. Her look lak uh white woman! Wid dat meriny skin and hair jus’ as close tuh her head as ninety-nine is tuh uh hundred!

He’s jus’ uh dirty trick her womb played on her. Ah’m telling her husband tuh keep her home.”

What do Tea Cake’s words reveal about his intentions?
He plans to treat Mrs. Turner cruelly.
He plans to avoid Mrs. Turner and her business.
He plans to play a trick on Mrs. Turner’s family.
He plans to befriend Mrs. Turner’s husband.

The correct answer is: He plans to avoid Mrs. Turner and her business.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Tea Cake states clearly that he plans to avoid Mrs. Turner, as we can notice from the following parts of his speech:

Keep her from round dis house  - He wants her to stay away from that house.

Ah’m telling her husband tuh keep her home. - He will tell her husband to keep her home.

Tea Cake doesn't want to see Mrs. Turner because she hates black people and underestimates them. So, he's planning to avoid her, as he can't stand her, her attitude toward black people, and her son. He doesn't need anything from her, so he will try to avoid her presence which upsets him.

answer

answer: a: they can affect the author’s perspective and in turn the theme and purpose for the writing.

the author's background and time period greatly affect the text that the author produces. this is because we are all a reflection of our time period and background. depending on where and when we were born, we will find some questions more important than others. for example, if we are a wealthy person born in medieval times, we will most likely be interested in courtly love and stories of knights and honour. however, if we are born in the 20th century in africa, we might instead focus on colonialism and its effects on the newly liberated countries. the theme and the purpose of writing are both affected by these conditions.
