External Conflicts In Alice Walker's Maggie
Maggie has many internal and external conflicts within the story. A main internal conflict would be Maggie talking down to herself and not being positive. Maggie is a shy girl, keeps to herself, and try not to draw attention to herself. When Maggie was younger she was burned in a house fire. Maggie’s sister Dee, did not get burned because she was out of the house near the gum tree. Maggie was scarred all over her body and that makes her feel self conscious and think that she is ‘ugly’. Maggie feels “...ashamed of the burns scars down her arms and legs…” said Mama. Maggie has many external conflicts as well, one main external conflict would be Maggie not going to school. When Maggie was younger she was taken out of school for an unknown reason.

    Maggie and Dee; Two Sisters, Two Worlds

    Maggie, who is self-conscious of her appearance, and will “stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe” (140) is conscious of the practical uses of the artifacts. From the onset of the story we are made aware of the tenderness that their mother feels towards Maggie. Even in narrating her description of Dee, her thoughts wander back to the memory of their house burning and “Maggie’s arms sticking to me, her hair smoking, and her dress falling off her in little papery flakes” (141). In addition to her physical flaws, Maggie is described as not being very intelligent. “Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by” (142). Yet despite what could be considered as unfortunate traits, Maggie is blessed with a kinder, gentler, more likeable persona.…

    Elements of Maggie (the First Two Chapters)

    Stephen Crane’s first novel Maggie (girl of the streets) is a tale of uncompromising realism. The story chronicles the titular Maggie, a girl who lives in the Bowery with her emotionally abusive parents and brothers Jimmie and Tommy. The novel revolves around the trials and tribulations of Maggie and her family in the Bowery. Highlights of the story include the death of Maggie’s father and brother Tommie which drive Pete to turn into a cold and hard person by novels end. Maggie desperately tries to escape bowery life, but in the end Maggie succumbs to the Bowery and dies a broken woman. Crane is considered a Naturalist, and in Crane’s naturalist world no one escapes their biological chains. Maggie’s parents are both unfit parents: they are emotionally and physically abusive, and have alcoholic tendencies. Despite Maggie’s and (to a lesser extent) Jimmie’s longings to escape the bleak world of the bowery they do not. Crane is making a statement on the adverse effects of industrialization and urbanization with the novel. Industrialization and urbanization on the surface create jobs and strengthen business, but upon further examination it disenfranchises the very people it promises to help. Many of the families in the bowery are immigrant families who become wage slaves. Maggie’s family is no different; because of their dependency on big business they have become disenfranchised and incapable of growth. This idea of being set into a world where there is no escape from one's biological heredity that Crane showcases the in the novel is mirrors Darwin’s survival of the fittest theory. According to Darwin only the biologically strong would survive in the world, with the weaker specimens expiring. In Crane’s novel the people are not inherently weak; it is the environment that shapes them and prevents them from growing. Ultimately, all of the characters in Maggie are victims of the Bowery life.…

    Dee And Maggie's Decisions In Everyday Use By Alice Walker

    2. In “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, Maggie and her mother’s relationship is depicted as tight-knit. This can be interpreted throughout the story because Mama describes how they spend the majority of their time together. An example of this is when Mama says, “Maggie will marry John Thomas… then I'll be free to sit here and I guess just sing church songs by myself”, implying that they normally sing together. Mama also predicts Maggie's actions. She predicts how Maggie will “be nervous until her sister goes” and how Maggie will act while Dee is there. Another reason their bond is so strong is because they experienced a traumatic experience together. Mama can still “hear the flames and feel Maggie's arms sticking to” her. For these reasons, they are inseparable.…

    Morrison's Recitatif Thesis

    The story ends with the question “What the hell happened to Maggie?” Maggie, the mute kitchen girl at the orphanage where the two girls where raised, is a reoccurring issue that continues to haunt their adult lives. The woman who foreshadowed all of the problems in Twyla’s life, the woman whose bowed body and strange hat were the long-time vessel of Twyla and Roberta’s arguments, became what Twyla was both afraid of and mourning about. The issue of what happened to Maggie seems to be both literal and figurative, and though non-conclusive, is somehow vital to the story. At certain points, it seems that both Roberta and Twyla use Maggie to defend their own views regarding race. Twyla, regardless if she is black or white, maintains that she was innocent and that the older girls where to blame. Perhaps the older girls are a metaphor for society. This might be a metaphor of how one thinks that they are not to blame, that the rest of society is the one to blame. It was Maggie’s disability that caused such a resonance in the minds of these little girls; and which caused her persecution to begin with. This woman’s life and death were the opening and closing of Twyla’s eyes to the world of disability beyond race and even beyond body, it just took three decades for her to realize…

    Critical Analysis Of Everyday Use

    Mama describes herself by saying, “In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands.” She is a hard working woman taking care of both her daughters. She was not well educated. Mama explains her educational background saying, “I never had an education myself. After second grade the school was closed down. Don’t ask me why: in 1927 colored asked fewer questions than they do now.” Mama did not have the privilege to an education like Dee because of racial differences in the past. She also knows the true meaning of her heritage and would not allow Dee to take the quilts. Mama understands that her heritage is not dead and is forever living and asks her daughter, “What would you do with them?” Mama knew that Dee would treat the quilts as if it was something to preserve. Mama describes Maggie’s shyness and lack of confidence by stating, “Have you ever seen a lame animal, perhaps a dog run over by some careless person rich enough to own a car, sidle up to someone who is ignorant enough to be kind to him? That is the way my Maggie walks. She has been like this, chin on chest, eyes on ground, feet in shuffle, ever since the fire that burned the other house to the ground.” The house fire has impacted Maggie’s life tremendously compared to her sister Dee. She is kind- hearted and is usually over looked as described…

    literary analysis of everyday use

    Initially, Maggie perhaps comes across as a flat character who thinks that the world has always catered to her pretty sister Dee. However, as the story progresses to the main conflict, when Dee wants to take two quilts made by their Grandma Dee, Maggie shows herself to be a round character with many sides. When Dee first makes the request to take the quilts, Maggie is in the kitchen washing up the dishes and Mama notes “I heard something fall in the kitchen, and a minute or two later the kitchen door slammed.” (152) This statement shows Maggie’s frustration because again the world seems to be taking from her and giving to Dee (B&N). After hearing the exchange between Mama and Dee, Maggie seems to want to give in to her sister’s wishes, perhaps in an effort to please her.…

    Everyday Use Theme

    Maggie is a helpful, kind, generous woman who is fearful and hiding from life and sure that people think her scars are hideous. In her childhood she was badly burned when the family home burnt down. Mama Remembers, “Sometimes I can still hear the flames and feel Maggie’s arms sticking to me, her hair smoking and her dress falling off her in little black papery flakes” (Walker 487). This left many scars, inside and out, though she survived inside she died a little. She feels all she has is her family and she loves them, but Dee has an effect on her state of mind. Mama comments about Maggie’s state of mind because of Dee’s pending visit, “Maggie will be a nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eyeing her sister with a mixture of envy and awe” (Walker 486). She lives in the shadow of her charmed and attractive sister. A sister she would give everything to if she asked. Which she does for the quilts promised to Maggie, as Mama recalls Dee saying, “Can I have these old quilts” (Walker 490), then Mama replied, ”I promised to give them quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas” (Walker 490), to which Maggie cries, “She can have them, Mama” (Walker 490). That is just like Maggie to sacrifice everything for everyone…

    Maggie And Dee Character Analysis

    The personality of a person is based on their characteristics and qualities. Maggie is a shy and insecure girl because of her appearance, for example, “Showing just enough of her thin body enveloped in pink skirt and red blouse for me to know she’s there” (Walker 52). Maggie is also a small not so much attractive girl with a burn scar on her cheek, which in my opinion probably contributes to her shy personality. In contrast, Dee is a very attractive and appealing girl with a horrible personality, “Dee is lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair and a fuller figure” (Walker 53). Because she has always gotten everything she’s wanted, when her mom finally tells her “No,” Dee has a temper tantrum and storms away. While at one point in the story, Maggie was willing to let Dee have the quilts just to stop all the argument, another testament of her humble…

    Difference of Two Sisters in “Everyday Use”

    Maggie and Dee have completely different physical appearances than each other. Maggie has a thin body figure, and her arms and legs are scarred from the house fire. Maggie is jealous of Dee’s beauty, and she seems to be ashamed of the way she looks. Mama says, “Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eyeing her sister with a mixture of envy and awe” (Walker 279). This proves that Maggie is nervous in her sister’s presence. In contrast, Dee is much prettier than Maggie. Mama describes Dee in the story as being “lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair and a fuller figure” (Walker 280). The difference in the way Maggie and Dee look play a major role in what makes them so different from each other.…

    Maggie is the very shy and polite one out of her and Dee. Maggie was the character that lived with mama, during the story it says that Maggie was burned in a house fire. This character is a character that would just blend into the background because of how shy she was, she wouldn’t talk to much; so she would rather just blend in with the surroundings. Maggie was a foil character because her and mama didn't change nothing throughout the six years that passed, while Dee did change a lot; throughout those six years. Maggie is a good hearted kid, she would rather let Dee have the quilts that were promised to her, instead of fighting over them.…

    motorcylces and sweetgrass

    From the start of the novel, it is not difficult to see that Maggie, the chief and mother of Virgil, is having trouble with her life. She is busy and has many identities. When she is talking to her mother Lillian, she has her own thoughts and opinions about how to live her life. Her way is doing as much work and taking care of every matter because she is the chief, and also worrying about her son because she is the mother. This always crashes with what Lillian thinks. Lillian says that her work is “too much” (Taylor, 44) and that she “should be the chief of [her] own home, not Otter Lake.” (Taylor, 44) Maggie does not even have time to have lunch with her son, let alone talk and spend some time with him. When she came home after what happened with her tire, she cooked a decent dinner “for the first time in a week.” (Taylor, 93) Virgil, of course, knows this and feels the lack of his mother in his life in some way. He might be skipping classes because he is not getting his mother’s attention and care. Lillian suggested this many times before she died and Virgil’s teacher asked Maggie for special care for Virgil. She is letting down her family. When John came for lunch to her office, her answer is “but sorry, can’t do it. Priorities.” (Taylor, 226) Her tone is very determined and dry. She cannot sleep well at night. This proves that she is rushing herself too much with her work and schedule. Meanwhile, she thinks that she will manage all of this and be responsible. This way of thinking is very much the influence of western culture, Canadian culture in this book. Although she cares for the Anishnawbe society and knows the language and culture, her life is more of a Canadian life than an Anishnawbe life. John enters her life suddenly with his charming looks and approaches her without hesitation, intriguing Maggie’s curiosity and interest. She goes on a date with John and in…
