[Dee explains to her mother that her name is now Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. Her mother wonders what happened to her real name, D

ee.]
“She’s dead,” Wangero said. “I couldn’t bear it any longer, being named after the people who oppress me.”

“You know as well as me you was named after your aunt Dicie,” I said. Dicie is my sister. She named Dee. We called her “Big Dee” after Dee was born.

“But who was she named after?” asked Wangero.

“I guess after Grandma Dee,” I said.

“And who was she named after?” asked Wangero.

“Her mother,” I said, and saw Wangero was getting tired.

[To prevent further discussion, the narrator tells Dee (Wangero) that she doesn’t know any more history. She actually does.]

In “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, what does this conversation show about Dee (Wangero)?

Dee respects her mother’s knowledge and opinions.
Dee thinks her mother and Aunt Dicie oppressed her.
Dee does not see her family history as part of her heritage.
Dee is interested in learning about her family heritage.

I'd say that the answer is B. Dee thinks her mother and Aunt Dicie oppressed her.

Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

From Alice Walker's short story, Everyday Use, Dee is one of the daughters of Ms Johnson. She is pretty and educated in comparison with her sister, Maggie. Dee changed her name because she doesn't accept the mother's and grandmother's identity since they have been descended from slavery. By this way, she creates her so-called own new identity. The story is the pursuit of a true black identity where it is confronted with values. The correct answer is the third option.

Answer:

I honestly have no clue either but I'mma try and "think outside of the box" here so stay with me XD

Explanation:

I mean during thunderstorms there's lightning right? And trees are like the most susceptible thing to lightning strikes because theyre fairly big and tall right? Maybe the trees appearing bright could signify lightning and with lightning comes thunder? I honestly don't know. Or maybe it's relating to some sort of mythology? Like the "heavens" opening up and shining light on the trees to signify rain because a god or something controls the weather? Or maybeee, this might be the best one yet, rain helps plants grow, trees=plants, illuminating of a plant=growth, GROWTH FROM RAIN. Ok I'm done... I hope at least a little of this made sense and maybe helped lol.

Let me know if you want me to pick the topic for you, or if you need a little more help. Hope this helps.
