Everyday Use

"When I looked at her like that something hit me in the top of my head and ran down to the soles of my feet. Just like when I'm in church and the spirit of God touches me and I shout."

I wish I could encounter someone like Maggie. She was a breeze to understand simply because she is an angel despite her major set backs. I think Maggie looked even more moral because her sister was the polar opposite. Maggie was been permanently distorted because of a fire, yet she manages to stay grounded and traditional like her mother. On the other hand, Dee has always been rebellious and dramatic even though she wasn't injured in the fire. More importantly, Dee was not initially proud of where she came from. With Dee, she did not love anything, but loathed lots of things that caused her to pick the alternative as her choice. Maggie, however, was consistent in liking the way her mom lived, and felt no need to make a scene about it. Also, Maggie could respect her ancestors without coming up with a crazy name.
