Sam g.k The analysis of Alice Walker's
"Everyday Use"
In the short story, "Everyday Use", Alice Walker uses everyday articles that are the principle focus of the story and are discussed with great detail. The author reveals the emotional response of the characters in the story to these objects, to contrast the simple and implicit with fashion and craze. The main characters in this story are the narrator, "Mama," and the daughter, Maggie on one side; the other daughter, Dee, is on the other side.

The main characters of the story are distinctly opposite. The narrator of the story, Mama, pictures herself as a "large, big-boned woman with rough, man -working hands" (86).

Mama described the two objects mentioned above in more detail that highlights their value to...
