Wangero is one of those who just started to appreciate her family heritage and things since she just entered her family heritage that she should get all that what he wants from his mother. In David Cowart's essay Heritage and Deracination in Walker's “Everyday Use” he says, “Only by remaining in touch with a proximate history and an immediate cultural reality can quilts be reclaimed.” meaning that Maggie does not stay in touch with her history or culture even though she is there with her mother every day (Cowart 171-72). When Wangero gets back with her boyfriend, she acts like she is better than them because she has found her inheritance and lost what is important to them, the mother-daughter relationship. In another source it says “Dee obviously occupies a central place in Mama's world,” so her central place is why she gets all the things she wants, especially things that have historical value (Susan Farrell 180). The mother-daughter bond she shares with Wangero is much more special and that bond with her mother should mean more to her than quilts or anything else with any kind of story.
