Before she [momma] had quite arisen, she called our names and issued orders, and pushed her large feet into homemade slippers and across the bare lye-washed wooden floor to light the coal-oil lamp.

in a paragraph of about 100 words, define "immediacy" and discuss how the excerpt is an example of immediacy.

Immediacy is defined as a sense of urgency, or a need to act, or do something rapidly, without waiting. Literally, it means immediate, a state, or quality of being immediate, of something that cannot wait and needs to be attended to urgently.

This sense of immediacy, or urgency, can also be felt in this particular excerpt, where we read that the Momma starts to order people around even when she still hasn´t gotten off her bed. The fact that she does not even wait to be up and about shows that whatever she intends to order, has to be done immediately, urgently, which is the very definition of immediacy. There is also the implied idea that whoever heard Momma issue the orders felt this sense of urgency, and acted immediately, even before they saw Momma up.
