[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.

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: There are a lot of incredible authors who wrote during different periods of human history .Those men were creative and very good observers .They described the people living in different periods of time and it was the ways of men which they took as an inspiration for their work.

John Milton

From the Neoclassical (1660-1700)period John Milton was one of the authors who used men´s interest in religion to write his famous Paradise Lost.Social needs in those years were taken more seriously than individual needs and the road to salvation was something the society was very much attentive to. A fear of the evil led people to believe in God .In Paradise Lost Milton presents Satan as a fallen angel who wants to reover his place in Heaven and will fight God so as to do so.It is not the best way to reenter Paradise but it is all he knows how to.

Elizabethan Literature(1555-1610) has its gratest author in William Shakespeare. A humanist who cared most about men´s doings and the consequences of their performaces, he wrote sonnets and plays displaying the best and the worst characteristics of the human race.Ambition, love, greed are all part of his famous tragedies which still today help to understand the human soul.

The Renaissance (1450-1555)author Nicholas. Machiavelli showed more concern with the doings of those who had power .He recognized a clear division betwwen what was public and what was private and the oppressed mass and the oppressors.In his work The Prince he described the personality of a ruler and in some very stiric way he also gave ideas on how to overthrow a ruler.

No matter which movement in literature we pay attention to, we will be able to find authors who depict men and women in such a way that if the time the story was witten is not provided,we can still know the date of the creation of the characters.
