Everyday Use by Alice Walker

Please read Everyday Use by Alice Walker and completely answer the following:

Characteri8ze the speaker and evaluate her reliability as a reporter and interpreter of events. Where does she refrain from making judgements? Where does she present less than the full truth?Do these examples of reticence undercut her reliability?

How does the physical setting support the contrasting attitudes of both mother and Dee? To what extent, if at all, does the author indicate that one or the other of them is entirely correct in her feelings about the house and the yard?

Is Dee wholly unsympathetic? Is the mother's victory over her entirely positive?
