Answer:

The reader experiences a fuller portrait of the narrator than Dee, who only hears the narrator’s external expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "everyday use" by Alice Walker, Dee listens only to what the speaker speaks and this gives Dee a cursory glimpse of what the narrator is describing. This is because the narrator does not describe to Dee everything the narrator is thinking, but the reader can read all the narrator's thoughts and this gives the reader a more complex view of the characters.

Mrs. Johnson’s narration is honest and forthright. The reader sees the story ”Everyday Use” by Alice Walker through Mama’s eyes. Dee and Maggie—Mama’s daughters do not make life any easier for her. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
