"Everyday Use"

"Every Use" is a very interesting that has much drama within the family in the story.  "In real life, I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands."  This quote describes the mother and how much of a hard worker she is.  Her two daughters, Maggie and Dee add much drama to the story.  I feel that they are both jealous of each other.  Maggie is jealous of Dee because she is attractive, and she does not have burns or scars on her body.  Dee is jealous of Maggie because she receives much of the mother's attention.  Dee is more of the intimidating character, and many people would follow her around because they wanted to be just like her.  Maggie is actually very insecure because her scars and burns from the fire.  In the story, she hid behind the door because she did not want to be seen.
