Is my Summary of Everyday Use alright?
Everyday Use is a short story by Alice Walker that focuses on a mother (the narrator) and two daughters named Maggie and Dee, these three African American women who have different points of view on how the African American community should present themselves and behave. All three of these women associate with African American culture, but the mother (the narrator) and one of her daughters identify with African American culture through the history of suffering,struggle,hard work and overcoming hard times.The other daughter identifies as a more sketchy, caring more about the aesthetics and appearance that the culture carries, without caring much about the history and difficulties that African American people have gone through and are still going through. When Dee and Maggies grandmother dies the mother gives the quilts that their grandmother made to Maggie because Maggie would use the quilts everyday while Dee would hang the quilts up and admire them as decorations.
