Answer:
D. acknowledge the potentially embarrassing circumstances under which she is delivering her speech
Explanation:
Most of the students at Wellesley College did not want Barbara Bush to speak because they believed that she was only famous because of her husband (president at the time). A majority of the students wanted Alice Walker to give a speech instead, however this did not occur. Bush is trying to use comedic relief in this line to lighten the mood surrounding her speech.
Answer:
She wants to <u>explain her reasons for writing a memoir.</u>
Explanation:
<em>A Girl named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana</em> is a memoir of the narrator/ author Haven Kimmel. She used this book to describe the childhood life that she and her family had in the small town of Mooreland, and also as a means to make people aware of the unknown town.
The author included the prologue to provide a sort of introduction of her home and the place, which most people seem to be unaware of. She recounts how her sister has <em>"assumed that the book on Mooreland had yet to be written because no one sane would be interested in reading it"</em>. Then, she also stated her own belief that <em>"there was so much more to the town than its trappings"</em>, which is in a sense why she decided to write the book.
