“Everyday Use” by Walker Essay

Although I enjoyed Everyday Use by Walker, I did not baring the first person point of view to be as effective as I would deport liked it to be. By writing the score from mamas point of view Walker denies the ref a chance to gain sixth sense to how the other characters are experienceing about the situation. The story tends to do the reader a bias opinion of the events that occur in the story. I believe that if Walker had utilize an all-knowing point of view instead of a first person point of view the story would have been a lot more effective. Mama had a very bias opinion of Dee and by using her point of view for the story the reader may adopt her opinion.But had Walker apply an omniscient point of view the reader could have gained insight into Dees thoughts and feelings. With the gained insight the reader would be prevailn the chance to form his or her own opinion of Dee. Further insight into Dees thoughts and feelings would exempt to the reader why Dee acts so superior t o Mama and Maggie. The reader would get an idea of whether she really did feel superior or if she was trying to hide her true feelings. An omniscient point of view would also give the reader insight into Maggies thoughts and feelings.Being a younger sister myself I couldnt suspensor but wonder how Maggie felt about her sister. Mama gives the impression that Maggie feels about Dee the same way she does. With an omniscient point of view the reader would know whether or not this is true. When given more personal insight into characters I find that I feel more empathy towards them and enjoy the story more. It makes it more memorable and meaning(prenominal) for me.
