Reaction: "Everyday Use" By: Alice Walker


The story is great but sad in a way. It's great that at the end the Mama stood up to Dee and was fair with Maggie.

Sometimes when we fly to high we forget from where we came, we forget the basic things. A person that forgets their history never will be filled she or he will be always looking for something to fill that space that real love fills.


It's a great lesson what is tought in this story. The way Dee sees the house with pitty or even disgust is horrible, now that she is a city girl she doesn't value the worth that her family has. She thinks that being rich or famous it's was is important but she is wrong, being love and respected by others is way important. Material things may go away but the feelings that we treasure in our hearts will last forever.


Maggie in the other hand thinks that she's less important because she's burned but the reality is that she has a better heart and soul than her sister. She will reach any dream that she has if she gains more self confidence because the power to do it she has it in her all she needs is to understand that even though she is burned and she may not be as pretty as her sister she is still a human with the capacity of achieving anything.


Great story, great lesson !!!!
