[dee (wangero) is still admiring the quilts, but the narrator explains that she has promised them to maggie as a wedding present.] she gasped like a bee had stung her. “maggie can’t appreciate these quilts! ” she said. “she’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use.” . .

Read the passage. from "everyday use" by alice walker when i looked at her like that something hit me in the top of my head and ran down to the soles of my feet. just like when i'm in church and the spirit of god touches me and i get happy and shout. i did something i never had done before: hugged maggie to me, then dragged her on into the room, snatched the quilts out of miss wangero's hands and dumped them into maggie's lap. maggie just sat there on my bed with her mouth open. what does the narrator's treatment of maggie reveal about the narrator? the narrator values her close family ties with maggie more than her heritage as defined by dee. the narrator has decided not to protect maggie anymore and is going to let maggie defend herself. the narrator feels sorry for maggie and wants to make life easier for her younger daughter. the narrator believes god wants her to give the quilts to maggie instead of to wangero.
