1 "Everyday Use" may profitably be read as a historical state¬ment even though no specific years are actually mentioned. It describes, in addition to the human conflict which is its central business, a period and place where dramatic changes in racial relationships have taken place, where one young Southern black woman has rebelled against racism and chosen to express that rebellion by leaving her homeland and rejecting tradi¬tional and conventional standards and values. Her antagonists are her mother and sister, who have not rebelled and who, indeed, have found their own peace and satisfaction in the same locale of their historical oppression. It is not likely that Alice Walker, a strong civil rights activist, is advocating passiv¬ity in the face of racial injustice, but she does in this story pay a beautiful tribute to those like the narrator and Maggie who remained in their homes and prevailed by enduring and affirming the best in their troubled heritage.

2 From my point of view , entirely 2 types of approaches are used. From the beginning of story is dedicated to the approach of biographical . Because there is written his own life and experience . Another sight , historical approach is also utilized . I witnessed that historical background of many years

4 Yes definitely. This story quite worth to read. The only thing and strong point is that devoted to both life experiences and history , and weak point is ,i can say that they should focus on writing styles
