Revolt · Accepted Answer

Mrs. Flowers is a refined and sophisticated woman who Marguerite views as a role model. She is described as being "the measure of what a human being can be," highlighting her grace and elegance. Another key trait is her kindness and perceptiveness; she recognizes Marguerite’s potential and uses her love of language to help the girl speak again. In contrast, Momma is a strong and proud woman who lacks formal education. While Momma’s personality is evidenced by her confidence when speaking to Mrs. Flowers as an equal, Marguerite is often embarrassed by Momma's poor grammar and lack of social refinement.
