   lie ahead for doodle.
   ○ it introduces the reader to the setting that exists
   throughout most of the story.
   ○ it shows the reader to see that doodles mom is
   incapable of feeling hope.

2. Brief Explanations

   The sensory imagery (rubber sheet, billowing curtains rustling like palmetto fronds) paints a vivid picture of the stagnant, limited life Mama fears Doodle will have. It does not let readers predict he'll never walk (the narrator later teaches him), nor is it the main setting of the whole story. Mama's tears show she feels despair but not that she is entirely without hope. The core effect is helping readers visualize the restricted future Mama envisions for Doodle.

3. Final answer

   It helps the reader to better visualize the life that might lie ahead for Doodle.
