In "Everyday Use", the mother has no choice but to treat her two daughters differently due to the fact that the two girls are very different. The mother is inclined to be protective of Maggie because of her personality and the accident that she had when she was young. She understands that the scar on Maggie’s face had an impact on her self-esteem and confidence.
Mrs. Johnson is not as worried about Dee as she is about Maggie. She believes that Dee can take care of herself. However, she is opposed to Dee’s sense of entitlement and approach to her roots. Mrs. Johnson believes that Dee does not appreciate where she is from and that she despises her family because she is convinced that they are not civilized. Based on her perception, Mrs. Johnson decides to give Maggie the hand-woven quilt because she deserves the inheritance. Her actions demonstrate her fondness and love for Maggie.
