everyday use

Everyday use

1. The term "everyday use" could mean something about the quilts or the churn top or dasher. dee's mom uses them for normal things and for the things that they are meant for but dee just wants them to be set out to look at.

2. Dee thinks of heritage as just things that happened but doesn't really mean anything, its over and done with and now the stuff from back then is worth more. Maggie and mama think of it as so much more then that. they want to keep using the stuff and not just look at it. Alice wants us to side with Maggie and mama.

3. the setting is at a farm that has everything from cows to pigs getting slaughtered. this affects the characters by making Dee come off as spoiled and rich when now mama and Maggie come across as living not as well off.

4. its ironic that her name was changed because it is a name that is similar to her new husbands and changed it probably to make him happy, or make her sound more sophisticated.

5. the significance of those items are that they are the things that were made by their family members that have passed. there very old and have meaning to them.

6. The story would have changed because we would have gotten a different point of view and that could have changed our opinion of the characters and could have made us changed which character we sided with.

7. in the final scenes the narrator changes because before she was in shock by her daughter coming home and how much she had changed that she really couldn't state her opinion of her and would have let her do anything, but by the end she realized what was going on and that her daughter was being greedy with the items and didn't let Dee walk all over her.
