"Everyday Use"

In "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, Maggie is the static character. Throughout the short story, Maggie never undergoes a change. The reader knows that prior to the story, she was burned when her house had caught on fire years before. However, she never actually changes based on personality. As a reader, we still know much about Maggie. We know that she is shy, and has no self-esteem or confidence compared to her sister, Dee. Also, Maggie is very selfless which is shown when she offers to give the quilts to her sister, even though she was meant to receive them. Dee, on the other hand, is selfish. Not to mention, she irritates me beyond belief. It is one thing to be successful, but to be successful and arrogant is a different story! Reality check, sister, you're not all that and a bag of chips. hahahah
