"'You just will not understand. The point is these quilts, these quilts!'"
In the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, the character Dee is indirectly characterized at the end of the story. She is upset that she cannot get what she wants, and she simply will not stand for it. She starts to put her mother below her. This shows that Dee, or Wangero, is selfish and only cares about herself. Even when Moma tells her that the quilts are for Maggie, Dee rejects the idea. She goes on to make fun of Maggie. Maggie tells Moma that Dee can have them, and that she can remember her grandma without them. However, Moma won't stand for that and stands up for Maggie, leading Dee to leave.
