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.
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read The Birchbark House, by Louise Erdrich (1999).
How do Omakayas’s feelings about her sister relate to her experience with the bears?
Answer: Omakayas loves and admires her sister Angeline, and wants to win her love and respect. When she finds the pair of bear cubs, she thinks that bringing them home will get her Angeline´s respect.
Explanation:
She even imagines going into the little clearing with the cubs at her feet, impressing everyone, leading the bears around the fire four times, and then presenting one of them to Angeline, who would only feel respect by Omakayas´ actions.
The answer is either B or C. I think it's C because a topic sentence needs to be simple and quick.
Answer: Nora's speech resolves the conflict and develops the theme that women have an equal right to be free.
Explanation:
<em>A Doll's House</em> is a three-act play written by Henrik Ibsen. Its premiere was performed at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, in 1879.
Some critics considered the play's ending scandalous, while others praised it as revolutionary. At the end, Nora decides to leave home and become free from all the duties and humiliation, which was unimaginable in 1879, when women were dependent on their husbands. The excerpt given above celebrates Nora's independence and equal rights. She is aware that her husband will not look after her when she leaves, but chooses to be free from all the obligations. Although the society might disapprove of her decision, the feeling of freedom is more important to her.
