superstructure

The narrative voice is like a superstructure in how these directions pave the way to becoming at one with the culture, the better part. These directions make evident the socioeconomic divisions within a society or culture. They are also the "do this, not that" of a superstructure, leading to false consciousness. By following the given directions, the "girl" is being shaped into what is expected of her. The warnings and demanding nature of some directions (ex: "is it true that you sing benna in Sunday School?" "don't sing benna in Sunday school" "but I don't sing benna on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school") are reminiscent of a leader who doesn't hear its follower's words or pleas. after all the directions, the criticisms, the condescending nature of words spoken to unknowing people, at the end the speaker, again, tells the listener that if they don't follow their directions, they will end up being the kind of person "the baker won't let near the bread" -- or the slut she's so intent on becoming.
