Argumentative Essay on the Theme of Love
The short story "everyday Use" published by Alice Walker factors the relationship among two daughters, as they struggle for their mother`s love, as well as, acceptance. In the essay, quilt signifies the items that were for all girls` value. Dee, the girl that had gone away from the poor family and environment and established something for her financially, desires the quilt to display like a materialistic commodity. As the story continued to elaborate, Maggie, the shy son who was burned in a fire, required to make use of the quilt in the home. Maggie never liked the quilt so much as her desire to feel as an essential to her mother as her sister. As a result, the mother decided to give her son Maggie the quilt that was mostly admired between the two girls thus bringing as to the clear picture of theme of love in the story indicated by the mother. This made Maggie pride that her mother had decided to choose her instead of her sister to be offered quilt, as well as, her self-esteem was improved. This paper critically provides an argument for the story's theme of "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker; it specifically addresses the theme of love.
The story revolves around a single mother together with her two children, Dee and Maggie. The entire family`s considered Dee as a proud girl. She was handsome, smart, as well as, educated daughter. While Maggie was simple, low confident and she was burned badly in a house fire. As the story was cited, Walker Alice uses Mother as the narrator in the story "Everyday Use" to elaborate those two actors. Dee and Maggie were described in the story to indicate two variable views of traditional and culture heritage during the year of 1970`s. At the same time, there was migration by Africa American to be educated concerning the heritage of African. As a bad lack, mother changed most towards the end of story (Helga, 23).
We clearly experience the theme of love in the story when Dee`s sister Maggie together with their mother sacrificed to work hard with an aim of ensuring that Dee progress with her studies. This was emphasized when Dee`s mother organized for fund raising in the church, being helped with Dee`s sister Maggie. The idea which revolved around the family that Dee was a brighter girl was an advantageous to her as she managed to be favored and offered with capital acquired through fund raising to accomplish her studies, factoring that she was coming from an unable family.
The essay progressed by describing the mother as a dynamic character in the entire story. This was because she had established some essential realization at the end of the story, as she knew her two daughters in a clear position. Mother was expressed as being nice woman as she was heard describing herself as a large, big boned mother possessing rough working hands with an aim of working hard to ensure that her two girls meet all their basic needs. She was also clearly identified as a mother who loved her daughters very well, but expected to receive more from Dee as she felt disconnected from Dee. In the play, mama believed that Dee was embracing with her tears in her eyes, and focused on receiving more support from Dee in the future, thus bringing out another expression basing on the theme of love in the story
Even of the entire struggle that Dees` family did for her, she responded by feeling ashamed of their situation of her family, as their house was not fancy. On the other hand, her mother and Dees` sister were not learned. As a result, the characters of Dee were established implying that she was a selfish lady. The other way that Dee was quoted indicating selfishness was the way she always wanted to have some nice things. As a result, Walker describes her as "A yellow organdy to wear at a time of her graduation from high school: At this level, black pumps was applied to signify a green suit she`d, that was described as having been made from an old suit that a certain person offered her. Further, Dee came back to visit her family members after spending too long and she came with a new name. She tried to convince her mother that the old Dee was dead, and now the existing one was known as Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. According to Dee, she had a new name that approach her Africa heritage, and she thought "Dee was a slavery name, which was her family name that existed after her Grandma Dee. She also believed that Dee was a superficial, as well as materialistic name. As a result with an aim of displaying quilt and churn top, and show them to other people of her Africa root she requested her mother and Maggie to make use
In the story, we also realized that Dee the loved girl was a character that never understood what heritage was, nor truly thanks her heritage. Dee left her residential place while still a young girl and attempting to allocate different types of life poverty that she had been born. Dee in whatever she ...
