(walker 58)

These two sentences shows a bit of characteristic in Dee proving that she is very confident.]]> 2019-09-24 15:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/388934251 13061054 https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/388936379 " you know as well as me you was named after aunt Dicie."

Furtive boys in pink shirts hanging about on washday after school. Nervous girls who never laughed. Impressed with her, they worshiped the well-turned phrase, the cute shape, the scalding humor that erupted like bubbles in lye." (Walker 59-60)

In this paragraph one would learn that Dee is a cute girl who doesn't have many friends.]]> 2019-09-27 03:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390375039 1060522 https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390376571 "She wrote me once that no matter where we "choose" to live, she will manage to come see us. But she will never bring her friends. Maggie and I thought about this and Maggie asked me, "Mama, when did Dee ever have and friends?" (Walker 59)

This paragraph shows that Dee has never let her family and her friends be in the same room at the same time before and that she might even be a little bit embarrassed by her family.]]> 2019-09-27 03:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390376571 1060522 https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390377418 "No, Mama," she says. "Not 'Dee,' Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo!" " What happened to 'Dee'?" I wanted to know. "She's Dead," Wangero said. "I couldn't bear it an longer, being named after the people who oppress me."

"She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use."

Dee is stating that Maggie can't do everything that she can and makes it seem that Maggie won't know what to do with the quilts. This quote also shows that Dee doesn't think of her sister as someone who could be and probably is smart.]]> 2019-09-27 03:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390378735 1060522 https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390380481 Dee is similar to the evil step sisters in Cinderella, she thinks very highly of her self and some times makes her own mother and sister feel less smart.]]> 2019-09-27 03:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/1060522/zusp5xxnvbyd/wish/390380481
