Some of the advice given seems like it could never have been spoken, but only inferred: “this is how you smile to someone you don’t like too much; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like at all; this is how you smile to someone you like completely.” Consider the story as a form of interior monologue instead of a record of the mother’s actual voice. If the story is an interior monologue and not a dialogue, how does this change in voice/point of view affect the story’s meaning?

If the story wasn't spoken by the mom and instead a monologue, it would make the story much different because the girl would be telling herself these rules. She is enforcing how she thinks she should act rather than having someone else tell her how to. Furthermore, her monologue would be things she learned how to do, rather than having instructions. For example, "this is how you sweep a yard," and "this is how you set a table for dinner," wouldn't be based on her mother's actions of showing the girl how to complete these tasks. The girl would do them herself without guidance.

if this story is an interior monologue and not a dialogue, I think it changes the stories meaning because it is not things that her mom has taught her, but things that she expects of herself based off of examples form her mother.

The change in the voice/point of view affects the story's meaning because instead of her being instructed to do all of these habits it is stuff that she picked up from others around her. This means that she is trying to act the way she thinks that women are supposed to act and instead of being forced to be like that she sees what her mom is doing and does it herself. For example in the phrase "this is how you set a table for tea; this is how you set a table for dinner; this is how you set a table for dinner with an important guest; this is how you set a table for lunch; this is how you set a table for breakfast" This message could have been picked up from observing them way her mom set the table. This means that her mom had an effect on her even if she wasn't telling her things she picked up her moms habits because it was what she thought a good women to act like because of how her mom acts.

She is enforcing how she thinks she should act, instead of her mother enforcing it. Just like every mother, there are lessons that are taught to almost every child. For example, her mother says, "on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming." This is her mother trying to keep her daughter on track for being a polite modest woman. However, if this was her inner voice, this could be her speaking from past experience. Perhaps her mother did things that the daughter does not want to represent when she is older. If the roles were reversed this way, it sheds light on how children oftentimes have to teach themselves lessons they learned through not wanting to be like their parents.
