Reread the introduction and conclusion to the story. Why do you think Walker chose to begin and end the story in the fashion she did? What do these sections reveal about the narrator, Mama?

ANSWER FOR PLATO:
The story opens with a description of the yard, which is like “an extended living room” where “anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house.” This description shows that Mama and her daughter Maggie share a comfortable relationship with their home and their surroundings. Maggie’s reaction to her sister who “has held life always in the palm of one hand” and is not used to hearing the word no also helps readers picture Dee.

As the story ends, a dejected and frustrated Dee chides her mother and sister for not “understanding” their heritage. She also sneers at Maggie, telling her to “make something of” herself. She doesn’t seem to realize Mama and Maggie are satisfied living in their home amid their ancestors’ heirlooms and memories and so already possess the identity that she lacks. As Mama says:

After we watched the car dust settle I asked Maggie to bring me a dip of snuff. And then the two of us sat there just enjoying, until it was time to go in the house and go to bed.

In this way, Alice Walker shows the reader that Mama understands her family tradition and heritage better than Dee does.

Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about "Everyday Use".

Answer:

Alice Walker decided to start and end the story the way she did it, to show that issues of ancestry are taken up by different people in different ways. Furthermore, it shows that, although Mama, there is no Dee in this respect, Mama's knowledge of her ancestry, race and tradition is greater and more complete than Dee's.

Explanation:

At the beginning of "Everyday Use", we are introduced to a narrative that shows a certain harmony between Mama and Maggie, in relation to their current lives. They are comfortable with their lives, with their locations and with their assets. The narrative shows that not everyone feels the same way, since it presents Dee in a more rebellious and impetuous way.

At the end of the story, the narrative no longer supports this atmosphere of harmony, as it shows Dee saddened by her situation and disgusted that her mother and sister, for not acting like her with regard to the memory of their ancestors and the identity of race they have. However, all the characters are aware of the ancestry and the weight it has in their lives, however, each one deals with it differently.

In recent elections, turnout has ranged from about 50% to 60% of the voting-age population.

But there is a simple change the US could make to boost turnout dramatically, something that has worked in at least 26 other democracies.

The government could make Americans vote.

President Barack Obama has endorsed the idea, and yet it has never taken hold in the US, for a variety of reasons. But many experts think it's a good idea. . . .

In the US, compulsory voting has started to enter the mainstream conversation. In May of last year, Obama publicly endorsed compulsory voting for the first time, telling a crowd in Cleveland that "it would be transformative if everybody voted" specifically because of the class-bias effect.

–“Half of Americans Probably Won’t Vote – But Requiring Them to Would Change That,” Chris Weller

The Nazis' program of persecution against the Jewish people in Sighet was carried out in gradual steps (p. 9). First, the German officers moved into private homes. They closed the synagogues. They arrested leaders of the Jewish community, forbade the Jews from owning any valuables under penalty of death, and forced them to wear the Star of David on their clothes. Jews no longer had the right to frequent restaurants, to travel by train, to attend synagogue, or to be on the streets after 6 o'clock in the evening. Then, they were forced to leave their homes and move into designated ghettos. And from the ghettos, the Jews were deported to the concentration camps.
How do you think the Jews felt as the persecution escalated? Why do you think they followed the Germans' rules? Should they have stood up? Would you have reacted differently?

Read this excerpt from Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game.” Which two emotions does the story’s setting inspire in the reader?

"Off there to the right—somewhere—is a large island," said Whitney."

It's rather a mystery—"

"What island is it?" Rainsford asked.

"The old charts call it ‘Ship-Trap Island,’” Whitney replied." A
suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I
don't know why. Some superstition—"

"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank
tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness
in upon the yacht.

"You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh," and I've seen you pick
off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but
even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night."

"Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

"It will be light enough in Rio," promised Whitney. "We should make it
in a few days. I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey's. We should
have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting."
