Analysis In Alice Walker's short story, "Everyday Use" she talk about the life of an African American family of a mother and her two daughters. The mother has a marvellous allowance of love for both of her daughters, but the two are distinct persons in periods of their personality. Maggie, the junior of the two, was much like her mother.
