"Everyday Use"
Character Analysis
Mom
Quote that best represents the character:
"I reckon she would' I said. "God knows I've been saving 'em for so long with nobody using 'em. I hope she will!"
Type of Characterization: Indirect
The story doesnt tell us directly what mom is like, so we have to use her thoughts and what she says to find them. She is a very kind woman but, when she says something she means it and nobody can change that.
Symbol
The quilt was made by her mother, who pieced it together from old clothes from family members. Dee wanted to have them to hang them up, and said Maggie would be so backward she would put them to everyday use.
