In the short story "Everyday Use," by Alice Walker, why does the narrator think Maggie will appreciate the quilts more than Dee?

In 'Everyday Use' by Alice Walker, the narrator thinks Maggie would value the quilts more because she understands and appreciates their cultural and familial significance, unlike her sister Dee who views them more as aesthetic artifacts.

In Alice Walker's short story 'Everyday Use', the narrator believes that Maggie will appreciate the quilts more than Dee because Maggie understands the sentimental and cultural value that the quilts hold. Raised in a traditional rural environment, Maggie is greatly tied to her roots and family history. She knows how to quilt, taught by her grandmother and Aunt Dee, and understands the value of preserving their cultural heritage.

On the other hand, Dee has pursued an urban life, rejecting her traditional background for a more modern lifestyle. When she demands the quilts, it's seen as a desire to use them for their aesthetic value as artifacts, rather than value their familial depth and craft. Hence, the narrator believes Maggie, appreciating the quilts' sentimental value and connection to their family's past, deserves them more.

Miss America: Not Just Another Pretty Face

Many people are against the very idea of a beauty pageant. Most probably have no idea that the Miss America Scholarship Program provides more scholarships to young women than any other organization in the world. It started as just a beauty contest in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1921. However, Miss America has been giving away scholarships since 1945. Bess Myerson became the first person to receive a cash award. Between the national, state, and local organizations, Miss America reports that it gave away more than $45 million in cash and scholarships last year.
One of the biggest objections to the pageant has been the swimsuit competition. In 1996, the pageant conducted a poll. Almost 90 percent of voters wanted to keep the swimsuit portion. It is still used today to judge physical fitness. However, several other parts of the competition are scored more heavily. The personal interview that contestants have with the judges is worth 25 percent. The talent competition is worth 35 percent. Evening wear counts for 20 percent. The swimsuit competition counts for 15 percent, and the onstage question is worth 5 percent of the final score.
The young women who compete in pageants like this aren’t just pretty faces. Each contestant is required to select a “platform” issue. They are asked to choose something they feel strongly about and that is relevant to the United States. The winners help bring attention to their issues by speaking to organizations, businesses, and the media. HIV/AIDS prevention, domestic violence, school bullying, literacy, and homelessness have all been highlighted by past Miss America winners.
Miss America has changed from a simple beauty pageant to its current role as a scholarship program. Since 1945, women have received money to pay for graduate school and to pay off student loans. Miss America is much needed. The thousands of young women who have benefited from it have also gone on to have careers in television, film, and business.

excerpt from "The Dream Comes True”

But every so often, as had happened all the way, we would have trouble breathing and have to stop and clear away the ice that kept forming in the tubes of our oxygen sets. In regard to this, I must say in all honesty that I do not think Hillary is quite fair in the story he later told, indicating that I had more trouble than he with breathing and that without his help I might have been in serious difficulty. In my opinion our difficulties were the same—and luckily never too great—and we each helped and were helped by the other in equal measure.
