Too Much

In Praisesong for the Widow by Paule Marshall we see that Avey and her family have probably asked too much of everything and they would look more into quantity rather than quality is better to have just one of a thing that you know is going to last longer than to have more than one and none might be useful. Probably it could also reperesent that they gave too much or that society expected too much from them or too much for them to resist the pressure of assimiltaion.
