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.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
