Everyday Use

#4 When Dee’s mother decides to not give her the quilts it takes her aback because she is used to getting what she wants and is for the first time being shut down. Maggie and her mother made the quilts together and the mother had already decided on giving the quilts
to Maggie as a wedding present and since they had made them together there was no reason for Dee to have them. And both of them were very upset because she was always so selfish and not kind. I think it foreshadows that that they are going to stop being pushovers about Dee and her selfishness and start sticking up for themselves.
