  • Discussion Questions for Everyday Use

    What is the role of memory and family stories in shaping the characters’ understanding of

    their heritage? How do the quilts function as a “document in fabric” of their history?

    Why does Mama, who has always deferred to Dee, suddenly stand up to her at the story’s

    end? What does this moment of defiance mean for Maggie?

    Dee wants the quilts to “hang them” on her wall, while Maggie intends to put them to

    “everyday use”. What does this conflict over the quilts’ purpose reveal about their

    different values?

    Published in 1973, “Everyday Use” was written during the Black Power and Black

    Consciousness movements. How do Dee’s changes reflect aspects of these movements?

    Your second essaya Compare and Contrast essayis due in Module 7, and should be 2,200-2,500 words and a minimum of ten paragraphs. In your Compare and Contrast essay, you must include a thesis statement and three templates in your body paragraphs. Part of the writing process is getting feedback and incorporating those thoughts into your revisions as you polish rough drafts. Once you have received a grade, make sure you read my feedback and incorporate it into your revisions. I will be looking for this while I grade the completed essay. Instructions For this draft, select a different essay from the Module 4 Learning Materials than the one you selected for Draft 3. Which essay you decide to work with for this draft is up to you, but remember youre working on the summary section of your essay, so youll need to only include one direct quote or paraphrase per paragraph with correct MLA format in-text citations. Write two of your summarizing body paragraphs using one bolded template in each paragraph. Each section provides several templates designed to help you practice using academic structures in your writing. Each of these templates allows you synthesize the ideas the authors (X and Y) are making in their arguments with how you are analyzing their argument. Find the template that works best with what you are analyzing, substitute the authors last name for X or Y and then fill in the blank.
