Explain the context of the quotation and why it is significant (important)  within the literary work identified.  (Context refers to surrounding events and social circumstances. When does the statement occur in the story? What has already happened between the characters? Why is this statement important at the point when it is made? ) * Author: Alice Walker Title of Work: “Everyday Use”  Speaker: Narrator (Mama) describing a conversation between the narrator (Mama) and Dee (Wangero).  * Quotation:  “Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts!” she said. “She’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use.” “I reckon she would,” I said. “God knows I been saving ’em for long enough with nobody using ’em. I hope she will!” I didn’t want to bring up how I had offered Dee (Wangero) a quilt when she went away to college. Then she had told they were old-fashioned, out of style. “But they’re priceless!” she was saying now, furiously; for she has a temper. “Maggie would put them on the bed and in five years they’d be in rags.

The point is these quilts, these quilts!” “Well,” I said, stumped. “What would you do with them?” “Hang them,” she said. As if that was the only thing you could do with quilts.
