What I said in my pre essay assignment..
The story of children to evaluate is “everyday use” by Alice Walker

Walker uses her short story “everyday use” you show us what her view of true representation of culture.

At the beginning I will give a little rough summary and introducing the conflict of the story then I will go on to emphasize maggie’s view and what the quilt means to her and after that emphasize how Dee views the quilt’s meaning. and finally Mama’s view of both of them and how Walker teaches her lesson through Mama’s narration.

I intend to use the following cited.
