The two sisters in "Everyday Use" are vastly different.
Dee "Wangero" is a modern girl who has gotten an education, left home, explored her
African roots, and come back home after the death of her grandmother. Maggie, on the
other hand, is a simple girl who has lived at home with her mother happily, not really
yearning for more outside of her life of small-town simplicity. Rather than exploring
her African heritage, Maggie sees the importance of her own African American
Southern heritage. Maggie is an unattractive girl, much like Alice Walker, the author,
was disfigured in an accident as a child. She was quiet and shy, and focused on her
writing. Walked is also similar to the character Dee, though, in that she went to
college on scholarship and left her town. It is arguable which character draws more
parallels to the author's life, but I personally believe that due to the message of the
story, that family loyalty and value of one's personal heritage can be valued over
academia in some cases, Walker must relate more to Maggie.
