"Everyday Use" from Maggie's Point of View

I feel rejected by my family. I'm basically invisible. When I was twelve years old I was burnt in a fire. While my sister was under a gum tree watching me burn. I could feel the hate in her eyes. After the fire I became insecure and couldn’t dare look anyone directly in the eyes. I sometimes get the sense my mother thinks I'm slow even when I read to her. I remember the time when my sister Dee (Wangero) came to visit with her boyfriend Hakim. She flaunted around in our presence like she was better then her own heritage. Dee (Wangero) tried to belittle me and my mother.
