Everyday Use
In the short story everyday use there was mother of two girls who names were Dee and Maggie. Dee and Maggie were nothing alike. Maggie was this really shy girl who stayed up under her mother. She really was uncomfortable with the burn marks in her arms from the fire she was in when they were younger Dee wanted nice things. A yellow organdy dress to wear to her graduation from high school; black pumps to match a green suit she'd made from an old suit somebody gave me. She was determined to stare down any disaster in her efforts. Dee went off to school to further her education and ended up changing into this whole new person. She even changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. Her wardrobe was different as well as her hair. A dress so loud it hurts my eyes. There are yellows and oranges enough to throw back the light of the sun. I feel my whole face warming from the heat waves it throws out. Earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders. Bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arm up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits She also was inconsiderate of Maggie’s feelings. "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!" she said. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use." "She can always make some more," I said. "Maggie knows how to quilt. “Dee (Wangero) looked at me with hatred. "You just will not understand. The point is these quilts, these quilts!" Dee wanted everything to go her way while she was home visiting but her mother was not going to let that happen.

    “Everyday Use” symbolizes the importance of quilts and the value put upon them by a mother and her two children. “I try to teach my heart not to want things it can't have” once said Alice Walker. In many cases I relate this quote to the character Maggie in the short story “Everyday Use.” Maggie is shy and bashful because of her scars. She feels that her older sister Dee had had it made while they were coming up. Dee had gotten the chance to go to college while Maggie had stayed home with her mom. Maggie became more in touch and aware of her ancestral roots because she had stayed home with her mom. One important object often associated with “Everyday Use” is the quilts. Dee felt like she should have the quilt because to her she had deserved them more than Maggie did. She felt like she had understood the importance of the quilts and she would put them to proper use. Ironically enough, she said that…

    Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" is the story of a woman, referred to as Mama, and her two daughters, Maggie and Dee. Mama and Maggie live together in their small home in a rural area. Dee has gone to college in a big city and is coming for a visit. Maggie is painfully self conscious, "chin on chest, eyes on ground, feet in shuffle" with scars on her body from a house fire. Dee has always been scornful of her family's simple way of living and has been greatly influenced by her time away. Walker uses Maggie to explore the ideas of a family's heritage and history and, by contrasting her with Dee, voices a concern that in our search for our roots perhaps we are losing important aspects of our heritage.…

    Family heritage is very important to many people. Heritage can take the form of photographs, paintings, families sitting around telling stories, and even songs. Quilting is one of many ways the African-American culture used to retain its heritage. African-American quilting is almost as old as the history of America. As slaves, and also their textiles, were traded heavily throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and the Southern United States, the traditions of each distinct region became intermingled. In time, African-American quilting became a tradition in itself. This strong tradition continues today. In Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use”, although Maggie and Dee/Wangero differ in point of view regarding the heritage of the quilts and how to honor them; the quilts symbolized something significant…

    In the short story, "Everyday Use," Alice Walker teaches us lessons on true inheritance; what it is and who can receive it. Two hand stitched quilts become the center of conflict in the story. They are also used to symbolize the true inheritance. Like a quilt, a person's world view is made up of events, circumstances and influences that shape how they see and respond to the world. "Everyday Use" is a story of two worlds in conflict. Mama, acting as the narrator, guides us through the interaction of the two very different worlds embodied in her daughters.…

Near the end, the mother realized that Dee is a fantasy child who is still frivolously careless of other peoples’ lives. (Baker, Pierce-Baker). Mama finally gains increasing emotional distance from Dee and is ultimately able to tell her “no.” (Hirsch). Mama snatches the quilts from Dee and gives them to Maggie, which makes Maggie smile sincerely. Mama knows that Maggie will truly appreciate and use the quilts instead of hanging them as a wall mounting as a symbol of a “simple upbringing”. Mama realizes that Maggie has had a better understanding of the meaning of heritage from the very…

    She thinks to herself, “I didn’t want to bring up how I has offered Dee (Wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. Then she had told me they were old-fashioned, out of style”(320). The mother is in disbelief at Dee, who only wants to use her heritage as something for show and tell. Those same blankets she had once refused she now wanted because they fit her own aesthetic, and not at all for the value and meaning behind those quilts. The mother then decides to do something unheard of and, “hugged Maggie to me, then dragged her on into the room, snactched the quilts out of Miss Wangero’s hands and dumped them into Maggie’s lap”(321). The mom has chosen her true heritage over the false, glamorized one that her eldest daughter has decided to create. She gives the quilts to Maggie because in her heart she knows that Miss Wangero does not deserve them, that Maggie can truly appreciate them and know who she is and where she’s come…

    Have you ever not seen eye to eye with your mother? In Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use”, we are shown how many of the choices we make and the things we value create our identity. This story focuses on two characters, mama and her daughter Dee (Wangero), who struggle to see the same way about their heritage. Dee wants the things made by her grandmother, to not admire it as an artifact, but rather to remake it. She wants to take them, and change them to match her lifestyle as it is today. She loves them for the way they look. Mama, on the other hand, views the things from her mother as artifacts. She loves the items more than how they look. She admires the quilts because of their everyday use. Transformations take place between these characters. Dee’s transformation is more external than it is internal. She shows her transformation in the way she speaks, the clothes she wears, and her judgement. Mama’s transformation is more internal. She begins to see Dee’s real thoughts, and she stands up against her. When she takes the quilts away from Dee, she doesn’t only stand up for herself, but Maggie, as…

    A family is briefly, and awkwardly, reunited when Dee visits home after being sent away to school. She is happy to see Mama and her sister Maggie, but instead of a heart-felt family reunion it feels more like a misguided show-and-tell of African heritage. Dee has brought her Muslim boyfriend with her, and soon inform her mother that her name has been changed to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo, in protest of her oppressors. Mama informs her that “Dee” is a family name that traces back several generations. Dee also asks to have things relating to her heritage, a butter churn top and some handmade quilts, but she does not want to use them for anything other than decoration. Mama gives Dee the butter churn top, but there is some hostility when Mama reveals that the quilts have been promised to her sister Maggie. When Dee leaves with her boyfriend, she tells Mama and Maggie that they do not understand their heritage, which is ironic considering that they were the ones who experienced it.…
