English & Literature IN 'I know why the caged bird sings' why does Marguerite dislike it so much when her mother calls Mrs. Flowers 'sister' ? Asked by arwen46 on 02 Feb 05:23 Last updated by anonymous on 03 Feb 20:07
She dislikes it for a few reasons. First, she dislikes it because they are not really sisters. More importantly, she believes that Mrs. Flowers is their social better and that it is impolite for her mother to assume or presume to call her 'sister'.
