Comparing Maggie And Dee In Everyday Use By Alice Walker

Improved Essays
Maggie and Dee are near polar opposite girls. Raised under the same roof in the same manner, but still so completely different. Detailing why exactly that is, here’s my essay on the matter.
Differences between Maggie and Dee can’t go without being noticed. Maggie is absolutely a more carefree, childish girl while Dee evidently considers herself a more “sophisticated” person. Dee strikes me as the type of person who wants to unnaturally preserve, hoard every branch of her life just to drain it dry of value. Rather than letting nature take its course and go with the flow of living, she chooses to try to make the most out of every possible path she’s been down. Which seems fine, but at the emotional cost of your family members? That’s just selfish.

    Dee who is the oldest sister is more confident and believes she is better than the living in which she endured. Mama takes this as Dee is rejecting her origin and her heritage. I agree with Mama because throughout the story Dee shows that she is ungrateful, but I also think that mother is overprotective of Maggie. Maggie can be much stronger if she wants to and can speak her mind, but I believe that the mother shelters her too much to where Maggie never had a chance to speak up on her…

    In the story "Ordinary Use," by Alice Walker, the plot is extraordinarily impacted by Maggie and Dee, the two little girls of the storyteller. In spite of the fact that they are sisters and are brought up in a similar situation, Maggie and Dee are altogether different from each other; they think and act unmistakably. In addition, their clashing characters fill in as images to pass on the general subject of the story. From the earliest starting point, the storyteller uncovers the distinctions in the characters of Maggie and Dee. In this way, it is extremely hard to pinpoint likenesses between the two.…

    One could argue that perhaps the determined young Dee had decided that if she could only destroy her mother’s house (that she’d apparently hated so much) she could escape the roots that she would later reject, and the simple life that she had always been contemptuous of. Although this is not an irrational thought, credit must be given where credit is due. Even in childhood, Dee was rather competent⸺wouldn’t she have realized that setting the house of her economically disadvantaged mother on fire might only result in her family being forced to move into a much less aesthetically pleasing home? (Which is exactly what happened, according to Mama’s narration and description of the second house where the events of the story take…

    When Dee arrived to her mother’s house to visit, she returned as a completely different person in which her mother did not really admire and Maggie still envied. “Dee next.

    Instead she comes off as thinking she is of a higher status than her family, most likely because of her education and the fact that she is “lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair, and a fuller figure” (Walker 330). Colorism is a huge matter in the African American community, and has been for years. A lot of the time people prefer Black people with light skin with bouncy curls that look similar to the loops on roller coasters over Black people with dark skin and curls that do not look as “professional.” Dee’s attitude towards her family shows…

    One would rightfully assume two sisters raised by the same mother in the same household would be quite similar to each other but this is most definitely not the case in “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. It is clear that the sisters in the story, Maggie and Dee, are complete contrasts of each other. To begin, the most obvious difference between the two is their appearances. Maggie is a fragile, awkward girl who seems to have little to no self-esteem. In the beginning of the story, their mother says that “good looks passed by her (Maggie)”…

    Mama shows partiality toward Dee over Maggie, which creates problems in the family. It gives Dee a sense of autonomy, and the confidence to take chances in the world to have the things she wants out of life. However, it has the opposite effect on Maggie. It forces her to be soft spoken and fated to accept a lie she is only capable of having the second best of everything out of life. Mama, giving Dee all her attention when she was a child has caused…

    In contrast, Maggie is obviously upset. She shuffles around awkwardly as if awaiting the arrival of a grand goddess. Through the actions and thoughts of Mother the audience gains an extremely flawed picture of Dee. Because Mother is extremely self-conscious around Dee she indirectly perceives many of Dee qualities in a negative light. Dee’s ambition is perceived as “demanding” and when Dee tries to use her education to help Maggie it…
