Re-reаd the pаssаge frоm page 6 оf Alice Walker's Everyday Use.  Write a 10-12 sentence paragraph оn each of the following topics.  Use at least two quotes to support each answer. Make sure to demonstrate proper source use including source introduction, quote integration, and in-text citation: 1) How does Mama’s description of the quilts and their history emphasize her perspective on heritage, and how does this contrast with Dee’s view of their value? 2) If you were in Mama’s position, would you give the quilts to Dee or Maggie? Why, and what does your choice say about your own view of how to take care of a family heritage?   Passage: After dinner Dee (Wangero) went to the trunk at the foot of my bed and started rifling through it. Maggiehung back in the kitchen over the dishpan. Out came Wangero with two quilts. They had been pieced byGrandma Dee and then Big Dee and me had hung them on the quilt frames on the front porch and quiltedthem. One was in the Lone Stat pattern. The other was Walk Around the Mountain. In both of them werescraps of dresses Grandma Dee had worn fifty and more years ago. Bits and pieces of Grandpa Jattell's Paisleyshirts. And one teeny faded blue piece, about the size of a penny matchbox, that was from Great GrandpaEzra's uniform that he wore in the Civil War."Mama," Wangro said sweet as a bird. "Can I have these old quilts?"I heard something fall in the kitchen, and a minute later the kitchen door slammed."Why don't you take one or two of the others?" I asked. "These old things was just done by me and Big Deefrom some tops your grandma pieced before she died.""No," said Wangero. "I don't want those. They are stitched around the borders by machine.""That'll make them last better," I said."That's not the point," said Wangero. "These are all pieces of dresses Grandma used to wear. She did all thisstitching by hand. Imag' ine!" She held the quilts securely in her arms, stroking them."Some of the pieces, like those lavender ones, come from old clothes her mother handed down to her," I said,moving up to touch the quilts. Dee (Wangero) moved back just enough so that I couldn't reach the quilts.They already belonged to her."Imagine!" she breathed again, clutching them closely to her bosom."The truth is," I said, "I promised to give them quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas."She gasped like a bee had stung her."Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!" she said. "She'd probably be backward enough to put them toeveryday use.""I reckon she would," I said. "God knows I been saving 'em for long enough with nobody using 'em. I hope shewill!" I didn't want to bring up how I had offered Dee (Wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. Thenshe had told they were old~fashioned, out of style."But they're priceless!" she was saying now, furiously; for she has a temper. "Maggie would put them on thebed and in five years they'd be in rags. Less than that!""She can always make some more," I said. "Maggie knows how to quilt."Dee (Wangero) looked at me with hatred. "You just will not under.stand. The point is these quilts, thesequilts!""Well," I said, stumped. "What would you do with them?""Hang them," she said. As if that was the only thing you could do with quilts.
