Everyday Use
"Everyday Use" is about a mother and her two daughters. Just like a typical relationship between sisters, I sense some jealousy between the two. Maggie is one of the sisters that is very shy and quiet. I believe she is this way because she was left with burns from a fire that happened a while back. Dee is the other sister that doesnt live with them, and may be seen as the one closer to the mother. However, Dee is going through a change. She is know under the Muslim religion. And I think that's what Alice Walker wants us to recognize, "change". But is it change for the better or change for the worst. I don't know. But at the end the mother changes and opens up to Maggie, even though it seems like she shut her down most of her life. Was this a significance? Leave me some comments.
