Explanation:

"Everyday Use" is a short story written by Alice Walker, this story explores different issues related to family, traditions and cultural identity by three main characters Mama an afro-American woman and her two daughters Dee and Maggie who have different perspectives from their family and the way tradition and identity should be preserved.

Thus, this excerpt mainly reflects Dee is ashamed of how poor her family is.

Answer:

This question is incomplete and needs the answer options which can be found in other Brainly questions. The options are:

The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that the family is determined to give up the farm.

The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that the family is determined to join the friends who have already left.

The author uses the purchase of the farm to show that the family is determined to wait until the dust storm passes.

The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that this family is determined to save the farm

The correct answer option for this question would be: The author uses the purchase of the trees to show that the family is determined to give up the farm.

Explanation:

Although it is not possible to find the full story for the excerpt it is possible to say that this story is entrenched in the historical event known as the Black Blizzard, or Black Sunday storm which covered most of the panhandle of the US and Canada during April 14, 1935. This storm, like many that happened throughout the 30´s caused devastation for farmers and ranchers.

In this story, and from the pieces of the excerpt that can be seen, it can be understood that when Hans reaches Pop, and hugs him, and says what he says, he is showing perseverance by hinting that despite the difficulties and dangerous times, things will prevail, and life will go on. The purchase of the trees, the way in which the author writes those lines, communicates that decisiveness from the characters to continue with life even if the farm is lost.
