TITLE: EVERYDAY USE AUTHOR: ALICE WALKER SETTING: One wavy afternoon, in their yard CHARACTERS: Mother a caring mother Maggie- a helpful daughter Dee- she is a selfish sister PLOT: a.) Exposition -one wavy afternoon, Alice is recalling what happens in their house ten to twelve years passed. b.) Complication- because of the burned scars, Maggie was ashamed to meet other people. c.)

CRITICAL ANALYSIS: In this story, I believe that Alice is telling us about their culture. At the same time, she shared story of her life as a mother of her two daughters named, Maggie and Dee.
