Explanation:

Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" tells the story of a Black family surviving in their neighborhood and the daughter's differing takes on their heritage. Mama is the mother of the two daughters Dee and Maggie, who has contrasting values and appreciation of their family and their heritage.

The daughter Dee was an educated lady who lives in another "fancy" city, away from the family who she seems to despise. Her sister Maggie, on the other hand, was a traditionalist like her mother. She knows the value of their family and the importance of the stuffs that's been passed down through generations. Dee was named after her aunt Dicie, who got her name from Grandma Dee and so on. It has been passed down for many generations and it symbolizes her family heritages. But she doesn't seem to have any regard for its significance for we see from the visit that she had changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo.
