Alice Walker Everyday Use Analysis
Assertion Paper Number Nine
Everyday Use
By: Alice Walker
I think that the black mother to Maggie and Dee in this story sees her two daughters as two opposites of herself. While she and Maggie move to a house (much the same as the previous one) Dee moves on to go to college. Maggie was badly burned in the fire which explains her peculiar way of behaving at times now. She seems to be shy and quiet, but I get the feeling that this is only because of her burns. She is not the brightest person and she knows it, page 3011 “She knows she is not bright”. She may not be the smartest or quickest person, but Maggie still does just fine.
On the other hand you have Dee, or better know throughout this story as “Wangero” Wangero is quite the opposite
