• Dee is not appreciated by the author. At first, Dee wanted to get rid of her own culture. She hated her humble house and never wanted to take her friends to her family. She pursed the white culture and received good education of the white community. When the black movement began, she simply took her tradition that she once hated as a thing to show off. She carefully took pictures of her humble house, took the churn and dasher as something artistic, wore strange clothes and changed her name, which totally is a superficial imitation of the black tradition.

Paragraph 1
2. The “I” here is the narrator, not the author, and the author is using the firstperson narration in telling the story. As we read on, we will find this narrator is also the main character, the protagonist, of the story.
Paragraph 1
• 3. Words like “I was looking for myself” and “I am nobody but myself” point out the central theme of the novel— searching for self-identity. The narrator was probably asking himself questions like “Who am I?” “What do I want?” “Where did I come from and where am I going?” in order to find his own identity as an individual. • The theme of a story is the central and dominating idea, the general meaning of a story, or the insight the entire story reveals.

未受过教育的黑人女孩西莉被继父强奸后，又被迫嫁给了粗鲁，凶狠的黑人男子，西莉称其为“先生”。
在惊恐和胆怯中她开始了奴仆一般的痛苦生活。
幸而有亲姐妹南蒂与之相伴，泪水中才多了一些欢乐。
不久，这短暂的幸福也从西莉身边消失了。
因为“先生”强奸南蒂不成，恼羞成怒地将南蒂赶了出去，姐妹二人被残酷的分开。
年复一年，西莉在门口的邮筒中找寻南蒂的音讯，她始终期盼有一天能与南蒂再次重逢……(从中大家可以看到当时的整个社会的缩影，以及黑人生活的社会环境和社会地位，黑人女性的崛起和黑人女性的反抗精神也从有深刻得展现)Everyday Use for Your GrandmamaCharacters:Maggie: a shy,young woman made even more self-concious by scars she got in a house fire years ago.

What is African-American Civil Rights Movement?
• The African-American Civil Rights Movement encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against black Americans and to secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the constitutional amendments adopted after the Civil War. • This article covers the phase of the movement between 1954 and 1968, particularly in the South. • The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance. Between 1955 and 1968, acts of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience produced crisis situations between activists and government authorities. Federal, state, and local governments, businesses, and communities often had to respond immediately to these situations that highlighted the inequities faced by African Americans.

Background
The Main Idea The story begins with the narrator, a black woman, awaiting the homecoming of her daughter Dee, an educated woman who now lives in the city. Accompanying her is her younger daughter Maggie. As they wait, the narrator reveals details of the family history, specifically the relationship between her two daughters. To the mother‟s surprise, Dee, who has been scornful of the black, is now delighted by the old way of life, and she is even more interested in the old handmade quilts pieced by Grandma. However, these quilts have already been promised to Maggie. Although Maggie is intimidated enough to surrender the beloved quilts to Dee, the mother snatches the quilts form Dee and offers her instead some of the machine-stitched ones, which Dee does not want.
