Alice Walker conveys these messages in her story about a young woman going back to visit her hometown and her family. ... Dee’s antics in her short visit go to prove why her family should be glad she doesn’t still live at the family home. ... Throughout “Everyday Use” there is the recurring theme of heritage. ... There are numerous times in the story where it is apparent that Dee is looking down on her family and making them feel small. ... “She would probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use” (94). ... This is near the end of the story and is a very good wrap up to the story. ... In conclusion, Walker conveys her messages very clearly throughout the story.
