Question

What is the purpose of beginning the selection with mama’s recollection and the moving to dee’s arrival

Answer 1

Introduction to Dee is done through Mama’s recollections and the family dynamics is explained.

When the character Dee comes out of a car, no one gets surprised by her actions or dresses.

Mama remembers her exactly as she is. But it is not clear if Mama can resist all that demands and desires of Dee, her eldest daughter.
