Discuss "My Name is Margaret"
In what sense does Mrs. Cullinan’s kitchen serve as Angelou’s "finishing school"? What is she supposed to learn there? What does actually she learn?
What primary mode and secondary modes does Angelou use to develop her essay?
What is the relationship between Miss Glory and Mrs. Cullinan? How does Glory’s attitude towards Mrs. Cullinan differ from Margaret's and why?
Describe Angelou's tone? It may be a few.
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare famously asked, "What's in a name?" Let's try to answer that question. Why does a name matter so much here? How do names connect to power and respect?
In hindsight, why does Angelou begin the story with the anecdote involving the liberal Texas woman?
What’s one insight about respect, language, or identity you’re leaving with?
