summary/question
Here's the thing: Dee had intellectual intelligence, and her mother and sister had practical intelligence.
question
They lived in Georgia, in the country, during segregation. There were no classes to take for Black girls to learn to be film stars.
question
Since Dee was book-smart and world-smart, she read and saw TV about a world different from the way she lived, and started hating the way she lived.
The mother is saying, you can dream all you want, but this is what I look like and what I do in my life.
This was back in the late 1960s, when television was working hard to create images of what people should want to be, want to do, want to have….
Maggie assumes everything has been easy, and therefore better, for her sister, but it's not necessarily true.
This really illustrates the difference between city and country living.

Feeling Blue?
Coffee
The rhythm of this poem is interesting and makes you feel like you are inside of the poem. The author makes you feel connected to the poem. The author also stops at certain points to emphasize what she is saying and to make the reader pause and think.
I think that the personification in this poem makes the poem seem like Philadelphia is a person. The author refers to Philadelphia as a “Girl” giving it personality. The author also refers to Philadelphia as “You” as if she was talking to a real person.
Wait… the narrator, the mother, is saying that Maggie thinks her sister could do anything she wants to do in life — never accepting “no” from anybody. Do you see that?
The narrator compare here live with a TV show
