By looking at the last two pages of "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, the reader can determine a certain style that Walker uses to tell the story of a cultural gap between an African American family. Using slang and word misuse with Mom and correct, almost eloquent English with Dee, Walker is able to paint the perfect picture of how different mother and daughter truly are. Additionally, Walker alternates simple, often incomplete sentences with incorrect sentences to describe his mother's lack of adequate education. Finally, Walker uses certain words to indicate the mother's feelings about how her daughters behave, ultimately helping her make the final decision about who will receive the quilts. First, the reader notices a stark contrast in the English language between Mom and Dee. The mother, the ignorant one, uses incorrect grammar throughout the story. Dee, having earned a college degree, is very well spoken. When Mother tells Dee that she will give the quilts to Maggie, Dee exclaims, "Maggie can't appreciate these quilts... She'd probably be backward enough to put them in her everyday life"....
