"Character Analysis of Shaurice"

The person I chose to analyze is Shaurice. I chose to analyze her because, I think that she is very outgoing, and she is also very out spoken. I say that she is out going because she always has a smile on her face, unless she is upset. She is very out spoken because, she says what is on her mind and she is not afraid to tell someone how she feels about them. When people look at her they think that she is a girl who is not afraid to say how she feels and they are right. Also when they see her play sports they can tell she is a girl with confidence and it shows in every sport she plays. She tries her hardest in every sport and that to me is where she is the most strongest.

Everyday Use

In the story “Everyday Use”, the character I can compare the most to is Dee. I compare myself to Dee because just like her I have moved away from home. I want better for myself to and sometime I don’t want to bring family over because I am a little embarrassed of the way that my family lives. I love the way that they act but I just hate their living environment. I won’t go extreme like she did and change my name, because I like my past and I know where I come from, which is why I want to change it. I compare myself to her because we have a lot in common we both come from places where we want to live from. But unlike her I wouldn’t change the way I am.(words 136)

Maggie Point of View

Maggie Point of View: Growing up I feel that Dee was always the pretty one. When I got burned it was the worst thing that has happened to me I feel like no one wants to look at me and that people see me as a monster. That is why it is hard for me to show my body I feel that people will look at me and be discussed. When Dee went off to college I was happy but at the same time upset because that could have been me if it wasn’t for mother and I then she would have never been going to college. So when she came back here with her new husband all I could think was. Why does this girl think that she is better than I am, why does she act the way she does. I feel like she is ashamed of momma and I because we don’t live like she does, and because we don’t like to change were we come from like the way she does. We are proud of were we come from and they way we are and I would change it for the world.(words 196)
