Everyday Use by Marina Nolla

Dee: (lets out a frustrated sigh) Ugh! That visit went exactly how I expected it to. 
Hakeem-A-Barber- I didn't think it was that bad. Except for the food..

Dee: Are you kidding?! I cannot believe my mother! 

Hakeem-A-Barber: I personally thought she was a nice lady.

Dee: You just met her! I can't believe she gave Maggie those quilts. She's going to ruin them.

Hakeem-A-Barber: Honey, you don't know that. She's getting married soon. Maybe she deserves them.

Dee: Oh yes I do! You don't even know her. Maggie is dumb. I wanted to hang them. She's going to use them! She doesn't understand how valueable they are and she does not deserve them. I should have those. I never get anything I want.

Hakeem-A-Barber: To be honest, by the way you acted in there, it seems like you're used to getting everything you want...

Dee: (face reddens with anger) Excuse me?! You have no idea what you're talking about. Apologize to me!

Hakeem-A-Barber: I won't apologize for stating my opinion.

Dee: Then you can walk home!

(Hakeem-A-Barber refuses to get out of the car and they drive home in an awkward silence.)

Everyday Use by Brittany Martin

“I’m so nervous” Maggie said uneasily
“Don’t worry” John Tomas said reassuringly
“What if Dee comes and completely hates the house, or what if she doesn’t want to be here?”
“She wouldn’t be coming home if she didn’t want to Maggie.” said John Tomas, trying to be supportive of his fiancé
“You don’t know my sister.” Maggie said
“She might be coming just to say hi to mamma and then leave right after”
“I don’t think so honey” said John Tomas
“After all, she’s your sister and she won’t come home and completely forget about you”
“I’m still not convinced” Maggie said, now a little sad.
“Here she comes honey!” said John Tomas
“Hold your breath.” Maggie said as she and John Tomas walked outside to greet Dee.

Different Perspective of Everyday Use By Katrina Evans

(Dee comes stomping into the room.) "Those quilts mean everything to me! She does not understand. Momma can go on and on about how much those quilts mean to me, but you will always come first!" I said to Maggie.
"I don't think Momma means to offend you Dee, Momma might not think it's that serious." Maggie claimed.
"Well maybe if she understood.. or at least tried to understand me than she would know. I want the quilts because of the sentimental meaning. Those quilts represent Grandma Dee! Promise or not, I deserve them." I explained.
" I just do not understand completely why those quilts mean so much to you Dee." Maggie said.
"Of course you don't. Just like Momma, never understanding where I'm coming from or why I'm saying something." I said.
(Maggie sucks teeth) "Well if it makes you happy, you can have the quilts Dee.. since I don't want them as much as you do." Maggie said sarcastically.
"I bet." I said. (Dee leaves room.)

Another Perspective of everyday use by DYLAN AMOS

Dee: By all mean you do not deserve those quilts!!!
Maggie: But why not? Mom said i could!?
Dee: Why do you want them so bad?
Maggie: They would mean alot to me!
Dee: Well they are mine so too bad and mother will hand them over to me 1 way or another!
Maggie: You are such a little selfish brat! if your gonna act like a baby then take them and get out of my sight!
Dee: That exactly what im going to do, so see ya later.
Maggie: Sigh of relief that Dee is Gone.
Mama: She needed to show respect and she didnt so i gave her the quilts so she could leave.

Another Perspective of Everyday Use by Sean Halsel

Dee: I'm gonna get those quilts!

Hakim a Barber: Why do you want them so bad?

Dee: Because Maggie gets everything, i want something of my own!

Hakim a Barber: you have a lot of things, your sister deserves something.

Dee: No! I'm gonna get those quilts, they belong to me! My mother is gonna hand them over one way or another!

Hakim a Barber: Whatever you say Dee, i think you're being selfish.

Dee: Shut up! How dare you take my mothers side. You disgust me.

Hakim a Barber: Well i'm sorry that me standing up for your family disgusts you. you're so selfish. You never think of anyone but yourself.

(Driving Away)

Hakeem-A-Barber: You really need to cheer up

Dee: (infuriated) What? You are just like them, always siding with the whiny little sister!

Hakeem-A-Barber: No Im not, I just think you should not take it so harshly. I mean they ARE your family.

Dee: Any mother of mine would have given them to me!

Hakeem-A-Barber: (frustrated) You know what? I was siding with you at first, but now i can see why they acted like that.

Dee: (struck off guard) What???

Hakeem-A-Barber: (firmly) I just think you ave some unresolved issues.

Dee: (startled and confused) get out..... GET OUT........

(stops car and makes Hakeem get out)

Hakeem-A-Barber: (pleading) Wait!

(Car speeds away leaving behind a trail of dust)
