Mama Coon is -- Yo looks around the room -- scarf, mirror, soap, umbrella--an umbrella tycoon. A dark cloud rolls lazily towards her in the sky. The ghost of the tennis ball is coming towards her in the sky. The ghost of the tennis ball is coming to haunt the man. Yo smiles, appreciating her charms.
An umbrella tycoon will never do. One more turn around the room: typewriter, red satchel--nice sound to that. But he isn't a red satchel tycoon. A breeze blows the white curtains in on either side of her, two ghostly arms embracing her. A room tycoon...(Alvarez, pg 69, paragraph 1-2)
When I read this, I was confused on what she was talking about. It was difficult for me to paint an image of this in my mind. What do you guys think they are saying? Any clues?

I was confused as well, Michelle. I think that she is trying to describe mama coon, and is trying to look around the room to find things that can describe her.
