5.What do you infer from Mrs.Turpin's conversation with the black farm workers? Is she their friend? Why does she now find their flattery unacceptable(Jesus satisfied with her)?
-During the conversation that Mrs.Turpin has with the black farm workers i understand that she talks and respects them only because she sees it as a duty for the perfect woman that she is.She pretends to be a religious woman,a well behaved woman who doesn't discriminate nobody,she pretends that by these little gestures of humanity she would be"saved" from hell.She doesn't talk to them because she is fond of the conversation with them but only for duty.She doesn't give importance to their words because she thinks that they are in vain.
-In my opinion Mrs.Turpin isn't friend of theirs.She sees talking with black people and respecting them as a duty for the perfect person she is.
-She finds their flattery unacceptable because coming from them "idiot people" they don't have any value.She is doubting of herself and she needs a prove from God to tell her that she is saved.In the line where she says: "What do you send me a message like that for?" she later demands of God. "How am I hog and me both? How am I saved and from hell too?" we understand that she sees the words that Mary Grace said to her as a message from God but she doesn't understand them.She understand that Jesus isn't satisfied with her and the words that the black workers say to her are just meaningless flattery.
