An analysis of the plot is dissected as well as the impetus for specific characters in the story.
From the Paper:
"The colloquial use of such words as pickininny, rigger and the reference to country riggers not having pants on in the country all point to a social commentary on racism. The item that is extremely alarming in this symbolism is the calm reaction the rest of the family has to grandmother's comments. The reference to plantations and Gone with the Wind are all symbols in the story to allow the reader to traverse past the family on vacation and to take a cerebral road trip to the past, the aggressions of the country during the war and the common day sentiment on slaves as McPherson (1965) writes, "Freedom has been your legacy from birth; by some of us it has been achieved. We know what oppression is..." (McPherson The Negro's civil War 15). Thus, the grandmother does not know in the story yet, what oppression is so then she most assuredly does not know what freedom is."
