Reflection on "Everyday Use''

This story it's really interesting since it represents the way some siblings take a path away from the family. The story tells about a dreaming, hard working mother with two daughters Maggie and Dee. In the case of Dee (Wangero) it seemmed she always resented the way her family live. This led her into leaving her family in search of a better life. In that search she changed her name that constantly remind her the people who opress her. To me those people were his own family who didn't seemed to want to understand her. She was seem as someone else in the family. They seem to hold her back and not impulse her into discovering she copuld be more than they imagine. That in that time even a black woman could achieve her goals and be independent from the bond of family. So she use Even thou she returned to her roots as someone else she had not forgotten the emotions she feel for her mother and little sister. Otherwise she had not comeback to try and prove them she was right and to persuade Maggie to follow her steps and not her mother's or the rest of the family.
