write an argumentative essay in which you consider the influence of heritage and cultural identity as it is reflected in “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker:
In “Everyday Use,” it is apparent that Walker, as we have been discussing, wants the reader to feel sympathy for Mama and Maggie. Walker depicts both as simple but noble individuals rooted in their heritage. Dee, on the other hand, is depicted as hypocritical, growing up being embarrassed of her heritage and wanting to distance herself from it, but later trying to connect to her past in an intellectual, superficial way.
Write an essay arguing the extent to which you share Walker’s view. Do you see Dee as hypocritical character whose motives are solely selfish? Or might her new-found connection to her heritage be viewed in a more positive light? In other words, although Dee’s connection to her past takes on a different form than it does for Maggie and Mama, is it also valid?
