2. Think about girl from a linguistic model: analyze the language used, keeping in mind that the narrator is a female, echoing her mother’s advice. What does it mean for a woman to speak to another woman in this tone, with these words?           
                                                                                                                                             
 The way the mother speaks makes me think that they are in the early 1900 or even 1800 when women were to act like ladies. The advise that she gives her daughter is the way she should act like to attract a man. If a woman were to speak like this to another woman now-a-days it would be considered or taken as an insult. Why would another woman care how another is to behave or do. Now-a-days women talk behind ones back in nasty maners. Probably using nasty language. Back in the day I think that a woman talking to another woman, the way the narrators mother speaks to her, would be considered advise. Good old advice to not seem like a "slut". She is guiding her daughter, teaching her. Her mother is only being blunt to help her get a good husband/man. At the end the mother questions her daughter that after all her advise is she still going to be a woman that a man wont let near his "bread." I think that bread here represents money, security. She shall not act or be a slut because at the end of the day man will only stay with a woman because she is a lady.
