Best means brainliest: in "a partial remembrance of a puerto rican childhood", what contrasts does the author draw between mama and her daughters? how would you describe the relationship between them?

The contrast lies in the fact Mama represents a matriarchal power in the house for her daughters.Cofer emphasizes the authority she has.She loves her daughters in such a way that she wants to protect them from any evil treatment that any man could have towards them.The mother seems to have the upper hand and the daughters are the weak women who could be dominated by men.She tells the girls stories in which she uses the word "macho" to describe manly attitudes that would make girls suffer, as when they leave a bride just before the wedding.She wants to create a feminist awareness in her daughters, she wants them to fight the injustice of being considered inferior.Her relationship with her daughters is that of educating them not only for them to know what is ahead, but also to make the girls as strong as she is.

the answer is actually c   i just got done with the test.

it wants you to read whatever it gave you. then compare it to the others you read. you need to use textual evidence, and cite anything you do!

hope this !
