This question refers to the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.

In this story, two sisters fight over some quilts that they want to inherit. However, each one of them has a different opinion about what to do with the quilts. While Maggie believes the quilts should be used as everyday items, Dee believes they should be displayed as an example of artistic ability.

The quilts are meant to represent the heritage of the sisters, and the way they each understand how to deal with their heritage and their culture. The phrase "everyday use" references the way heritage should be understood. The author is trying to convey the idea that heritage is not something to be displayed for others. Instead, it is something that should be experienced every single day, and should impact most aspects of our life.

In the case of Dee, this is not the case. While Dee admires the quilts, she does not feel inclined to experience her culture every day. In fact, she rejects many aspects of it, such as her name and her family's way of living. On the other hand, Maggie experiences her culture every day and is much more appreciative of the everyday experiences of her family.

Imagine that you were Atticus finch writing a business letter to the judge to explain the reason you are appealing toms convicti
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Number 27 Downing Street,

Boston, Massachusets, 02101.

August 8th, 2020.

John Taylor,

Judge.

Number 67 Downing Street.

Boston, Massachusets, 02111.

Dear Judge Taylor,

I am writing this letter to inform you of my decision to appeal Tom Robinson's conviction where he was found guilty for the r ape of Mayella Ewell.

First of all, I strongly believe that the conviction was wrong that is why I would be appealing that conviction. Bob Ewell is a known alcoholic and poverty-stricken man who for some reason best known to him decided to wrongfully accuse my client, Mr. Tom Robinson's perhaps to ruin my client's life and so far it is working.

As was mentioned in the trial, Bob Ewell is left-handed and a good number of injuries on Mayella were on the right side which strongly suggests that it was done by a left-handed person of which my client is not, in fact, his left hand is completely useless.

Additionally, from the testimonies of father and daughter, there were a lot of inconsistencies in their recollection of events of that day which is another clear indication that the Ewell family are on some sort of witch-hunting against my client.

Moreso, we cannot overlook the racial bias that exists in Mayhouse, Alabama in 1935 as, despite the best evidence and defense, the jury could not look past their bias and give a good judgment simply because the accused was a black man and the assault happened to a white woman.

Thank you for your time.

Atticus Finch,

Attorney-at-law.
