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

In this story, we meet Mama, who is the narrator of the story. Mama is a responsible, hard-working woman who raised her two daughters on her own. Throughout the text she demonstrates the inner strength that she has, as she is able to butcher hogs and milk cows. She is a practical, realistic woman.

Moreover, Mama loves her daughters deeply, but is also confused by them. This is especially the case with Dee, who Mama thinks is turning her back on her heritage and her family. She thinks that Dee feel superior to her family, and that she is not grateful enough for her upbringing. While she is critical of Maggie's shyness, she understands her better, and believes her to be more in  touch with who she is.

Explain how beginning the story with the dialogue between Rainsford and Whitney contributes to both the author’s characterizatio
juin [17]

The conversation between Rainsford and Whitney contributed to the characterization of Rainford by showing how at the beginning he sees himself as a superior being towards animals and he doesn't give any importance to the pain or fear they might feel, an example of this is the phrase  “The world is made up of two classes — the hunters and the huntees. Luckily you and I are the hunters.”On the other hand, Whitney believes the opposite we can see through the story how Rainford changes his mind when he sees himself on the side and we can infer that when at the end he talks about how different does it feel to be the huntee.

These sentences are also examples of the gothic and suspenseful mood of the story showing us the complexity of the human psyche
