The debate of third person vs. first person point of view (POV) has been around for some time. It can make things challenging when you’re trying to figure out which POV to write from, especially if you’re partway through your short story or novel and decide to switch POV.

<em>"Everyday Use"</em> is a short story which explores the relationship between a mother and her two daughters. It was written by Alice Walker and published in 1973.
The two sisters, Dee and Maggie, are quite different. Dee often shows arrogance and lack of sensitivity. While Maggie suffers from extreme shyness, Dee is confident and proud and is not afraid to express her opinion. Over the course of the story, Mama (the narrator of the story) describes Maggie as shy and makes it clear that she disapproves of Dee's superiority.
