Everyday Use - Alice Walker
The infamous Alice Walker blesses readers throughout the world with this text. This confusing story is about the new school vs old school in a broad sense. New school Dee or "Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo" is Dee in her all most natural 100% self. She leaves her moms safe haven (read: home) goes to the city and returns a much more experienced , educated, and self worth knowing individual than she previously was. This short story is best deserving of a visual representation, reading the text in itself by itself doesn't suffice!

Hi Miguel,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the text was excellent. Yet, I have mixed feelings on how a visual representation of the story would be executed. There are so many elements of the story that make the story dynamic in which focusing on certain aspects could result in the possibility of leaving out other important details. If possible, I would want to know how you can execute a visual representation of the story. In addition, I think that you highlight an important point about Dee's character. Dee's accessibility to a college education provided her the opportunity to engage with resources that helped with her understanding her own heritage. Do you think that Walker is trying to convey a point about education? If so, what would you think that point is?
