Reread the paragraph that begins, “Mrs. Flowers was the aristocrat of Black Stamps” on page 481. Look for examples of imagery that appeals to the five senses.

From the text:

Her skin was a rich black that would have peeled like a plum if snagged, but then no one would have thought of getting close enough to Mrs. Flowers to ruffle her dress, let alone snag her skin.

Occasionally, though, Mrs. Flowers would drift off the road and down to the Store and Momma would say to me, “Sister, you go on and play.”
