Everyday Use

This story seemed to have a bit of irony. The daughther, Dee or whatever she wants to be called, is trying to get more in touch with her roots however, by doing so, she is stressing her relationship with her closest roots, her family. I also believe that her sister's burns are there simply to physically represent her shy attitude. In the end though it isn't Dee, who I would have expected to maybe realize she was pushing her family away, who changed, it was her mother. Her mother finally realizes that she is essentially being pushed around by Dee and she is sick of it so she changes and is therefore a dynamic character. The boyfriend of Dee is obviously a flat character though. He is there but we barely hear anything about him. I think he is supposed to represent Dee's independance from her family.
