In order to practice working towards a careful interpretation of “Everyday Use” (https://intensiveenglish1.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/4/13041485/everyday_use_full-text.pdf) resulting in a statement of theme, please respond to the following questions and prompts: (min 250 words)Describe the narrator of the story, including her physical attributes, personality, and whether you think she is static or dynamic (and why).Can you tell where and when this story is set? What was going on that would lead Dee to say “It’s really a new day for us” at the end and might explain her clothing, hairstyle, and choice of new name? Feel free to do a little research to help answer these questions.What are the conflicts in this story? How and why do they intensify? In particular, pay attention to the sections where our narrator and Dee debate the origin of her name and whether or not she will take the quilts. Where is the climax? What, if anything, is resolved in the end? What has changed?B.“Everyday Use” (min 300 words)Describe at least one theme that emerges in the story. Remember that a theme is more than a statement of topic; it should make a claim about what the story is saying about a particular topic, and, as such, it should take the form of a complete sentence with a verb.Include specific evidence (examples and quotes) to support your interpretation. Ideally, you will not all come up with exactly the same statement of theme but will share a variety of statements that can all be supported by thedetails of the text.C.Answer (min 250 words)What is the author’s thesis and how effective is it?What points in support of the thesis did you find convincing, if any? Which did you find less convincing, if any? Why?Did the paper change the way you think about the story? If so, how?D.As your book suggests, the title of a story can often give some clues as to a possible theme.

If it’s a longer story, don't feel you need to match the length; focus on providing a different view of at least some of the events that occur. Then discuss what difference the new perspective makes to the story’s impact and/or meaning.
