Our Past, Our Future

(An evaluation on how people show different things in different ways, because of the way they see the world.)

We all see the world differently. We want to believe that we are all the same, but the truth there will always be differences. Some people just have a face that is good to look at. They are attractive, but were born with good looks. To some people this has put them ahead in life. We aren’t born equal and nothing in the world can truly prove that we were. However, we are all born with a way to make out lives better. You can be successful and do things with your life. In the end, it doesn’t matter the way you look, but what you do. If you love riding horses, go ride a horse. If you can’t accomplish science problems, don’t aim to be a rocket scientist. It is your life and you can do whatever you want to do as long as you try. When you try you find you can do so much more than you believed before. As we go do what we want and enjoy there are moments in our life when we forget out family. They raised us and created the people we are. Our life was because of them, good or bad. We have to face the future without heritage, community and the materials we have. They are a part of our life and no matter how much we push them away they will be there. In Everyday Use, by Alice Walker, we see three characters that show how the story talks about people’s history, their greed, and how they act in society.

Maggie Johnson shows within the lines of Use that our history doesn’t have to be possessions. Dee was focused on what the material possessions would provide. She thought her history was made up the objects, the little things, but not the actual people. She forgot that these people that owned the possessions mad...

  • Heritage in Everyday Use, by Alice Walker

    1063 Words  | 3 Pages

    The quilts play an important role in depicting symbolism of heritage because they signify Dee’s family origins. For instance, Dees’ significant family members all have pieces of their fabric sown on to the quilts as a remembrance of who they were and their importance in the family. Nevertheless, Dee is overlooking important facets of her family history because she does not see the quilts her ancestors made as valuable, hand-made, pieces of fabric that should be passed down and taken care of to keep their history alive. As Mama stated, “In both of them were scraps of dresses Grandma Dee had worn fifty years and more years ago. Bits and pieces of Grandpa Jarrell’s paisley shirts. And one teeny faded blue piece, about the size of a penny matchbox, that was from Great Grandpa Ezra’s uniform that he wore in the civil war.” (1129). Despite her family’s history, Dee continues to misinterpret the...

    In Alice Walker’s story “Everyday Use,” symbolism, allegory, and myth stand out when thinking about the characters, setting, and conflict in the story. The conflict is between the mother and her two daughters (Maggie and Dee). There is also the conflict between the family’s heritage (symbolized by the quilt, bench, and butter chum) and their different ways of life. Dee chose a new African name, moved to the city, and adopted a new way of life while Maggie and her mother have stay behind. The quilt (the most important symbol) represents the family’s heritage in that it is made of scraps of clothing worn by generations of family members. The quilt has been sewn by family hands and used on family beds. It has seen history and is history. Maggie and her mother see that that history is alive but Dee thinks it is as dead as her name. Dee does not see that name as part of her heritage. By analyzing these symbols, a number of possibilities for a theme can be seen. Walker could be suggesting that to understand the African-American heritage, readers have to include the present as well as the past. However, the theme could be that poverty and a lack of sophistication and education cannot be equated with ignorance. Lastly, she could be telling her readers that dignity or self-respect rise from and are virtually connected to one’s entire heritage- not just a selected part of it.

  • Imagery And Symbolism In Everyday Use By Alice Walker

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” centers on a mama, Mrs. Johnson, and her two daughters, Maggie and Dee, and how they view their heritage. In “Everyday Use”, the author, Alice Walker, uses symbolism not just to convey imagery and increase the story’s emotional impact, as is typical for most literature, but also to tell parts of the story, be more descriptive with her depictions of characters and objects within the story, give back story, and communicate more of her characters’ personalities. Like most writings, “Everyday Use” contains symbolism in the form of objects and actions, but the symbolism in Everyday Use is very notable and striking because it is materialized in rather unorthodox ways and places, such as characters’ names, in the back

  • A & P and Everyday Use Analysis and Comparison

    1679 Words  | 4 Pages

    In a modern society where good deeds and integrity are taken for granted, it is necessary for people to stand up for what is right. The short story “A & P”, written by John Updike, tells the story of Sammy and how he takes a stand for what he believes is right, only he is not given the gratitude he deserved. “Everyday Use”, written by Alice Walker, is another short story that shows how substantial it is to stand firm for one’s convictions and beliefs, especially in familial matters. Mama, the protagonist in “Everyday Use”, must make the decision of protecting her self-conscious daughter Maggie, or giving in to Dee, her other egocentric daughter who has forgotten the traditional values of their family. These two short stories indicate the importance of protecting people from the harshness of reality because not everyone is secure or aware enough to be able to stand up for themselves.

  • Perspective On Human Perspective

    1230 Words  | 3 Pages

    Think about everyday life. Imagine everything that is experienced in a single day, whether it is through sight, smell, touch, and/or taste. Now, what if someone said that what is experienced is not how it is in reality? This statement is confusing, but the perspective of every being is different, so if that is true, who is actually viewing the world “correctly”? This is to say, who is viewing her environment as it actually looks? This may seem unbelievable, but it is the truth. In this essay, it will be explained through perspective, theories of perspective, and the opposition, why humans’ perspectives of reality are not accurate representations of said reality.

  • Family Heritage In Everyday Use

    1197 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Alice Walker's "Everyday Use," the message about the preservation of heritage, specifically African-American heritage, is very clear. It is obvious that Walker believes that a person's heritage should be a living, dynamic part of the culture from which it arose and not a frozen timepiece only to be observed from a distance. There are two main approaches to heritage preservation depicted by the characters in this story. The narrator, a middle-aged African-American woman, and her youngest daughter Maggie, are in agreement with Walker. To them, their family heritage is everything around them that is involved in their everyday lives and everything that was involved in the lives of their ancestors. To Dee, the narrator's oldest daughter, heritage is the past - something to frame or hang on the wall, a mere artistic, aesthetic reminder of her family history. Walker depicts Dee's view of family heritage as being one of confusion and lack of understanding.
