Alicia Walker's Every Day Use was about three women from a family that have gone through a hard time. The novel tells how each of them cope and look at life. This was definitly not one of my favorite novels that I have read. I found it confusing and hard to read. I couldn't pick out a theme.
My least favorite character was Dee. She talked down to Maggie and acted as if she was better then her and Mama. Dee felt that they should get out and make something of themselves. That may be true but she went about it all wrong.
I liked Maggie the most. She was happy and understood life way more than what Dee gave her credit for. In the end, Maggie smiled a real smile. I may be wrong but I think she was smiling because she knew she out smarted Dee.
