In <em>"Everyday Use,"</em> we meet a mother and two daughters: Dee and Maggie. They are African American, and extremely different in their personalities. While Maggie is shy and traditional, with simple aspirations, Dee has been educated, is interested in political and social issues, and wants to celebrate her African roots. Dee is very different from the rest of her family. She has moved away and started a new life with her partner, when she comes back to visit one day.

When she is back home, she notices her grandma's quilts, and wants to keep them. However, the mother had already promised them to Maggie. There is further disagreement as Dee wants the quilts to be preserved and only used in special occasions, while Maggie thinks they should be used everyday. The mother eventually refuses to give them to Dee and gives them to Maggie. She believes Maggie better understands the importance of tradition, and that she will better honour them by using them everyday, as opposed to Dee who only wants them as a conversation piece.

In “By the Waters of Babylon,” how is John's society different from the one that came before it?
Ksenya-84 [330]

<span>The society is spiritual since it was governed by priests.  His society seems to be one that is more in tune with nature and intuition than the Place of the gods. John’s people lived in the middle of natural elements, not in a large city. Subsequently, spiritually, their principles seem to be modeled after those of Native Americans, rather than contemporary day man. They seem to worship nature in its place of science. They have priests who executed chants, spells, and do some healing. They have taboos and fear demons and spirits. </span>
