Hi
Fiddle-Dee dum Fiddle-Dee Dee, Skip around the moon, that's Pi times D! Oh, dear but that's absurd, Coz the area of the moon is Pi times R squared.
No, it is smaller because if you rounded 0.09 to the nearest 0.1, you would get 0.1, and another reason you can say it is smaller is because if you put it in fractional terms, 0.09 would look like9/100, but with 0.1, it would be 10/100, so from that, you can hopefully and clearly see that 0.09 is SMALLER that 0.1
obtuse
1 x 78 2 x 39 are two ways.
The opposite of -1.2 is 1.2. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is the same number with the opposite sign. Therefore, when you change the sign of a negative number, you get its opposite positive number.
Dee's boyfriend, Jimmy T, left her for a new girlfriend. Dee mentioned this to her family in Alice Walker's short story "Everyday Use."
After leaving home, Dee had changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo to reflect her African heritage. She had also adopted a new style, clothing, and attitude that emphasized her newfound identity and roots. Additionally, Dee had become more assertive and critical of her family's lifestyle and possessions, seeing them as examples of a superficial, materialistic culture.
In "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, the name Dee represents a sense of disconnect and misunderstanding between the narrator and her daughter. Dee's name change symbolizes her rejection of her family's heritage and traditions, causing a rift between her and her roots.
After her sister Dee's visit in "Everyday Use," Maggie is thankful for the experience, but also feels overshadowed and marginalized by Dee's confidence and assertiveness. She may feel insecure about her own identity and place within the family.
Mama was initially hesitant and skeptical of Dee's sudden interest in the family heirlooms, but ultimately gave them to Maggie as she believed she would appreciate and use them more than Dee.
Mama dreams that she meets Dee in the television program, where Dee has changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo. They are reunited in the dream in a backyard barbecue setting, where Dee wants Mama to call her by her new name. Mama struggles with this as she recalls their strained relationship.
An example of ambiguity in "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker is the character of Dee. It is ambiguous whether Dee's desire to have the family heirlooms is to honor their heritage or to use them as symbols of her own success and rejection of her roots. This ambiguity adds complexity to the story's exploration of heritage and identity.
It was a slave name
Dee/Wangero
The story begins in the South during the 1960's. It takes place in Maggie, and her mother's home. When Dee, Maggie's older sister, comes to visit with her boyfriend the family learns that she has changed her name to Wangero because she did not want to be named by white people anymore. Maggie is obviously afraid, or distrustful of her older sister because when she arrives Maggie hides behind her Mom. They all sit down to dinner, where Dee takes the churn top, and the dasher to decorate her house. Then, after dinner, Dee rifles through Maggie's trunk to find two old quilts done by their grandma. She requests to have the quilts, but when her mother says that she should take different ones, Dee insists that they had to be these ones. Maggie is very upset about this because that was her reminder of her grandmother, and her heritage. At this point, their mother finally stands up for Maggie, and grabs the quilts out of Dee's hands, and places them into Maggie's lap. Dee, flabbergasted, goes out to the car, and leaves.
She rips them out of Dee's hands and tosses them into Maggies lap.
Dee returning home after a long absence and expressing interest in the old quilts made by her grandmother. Dee insisting on taking the quilts for display rather than everyday use, causing conflict between her and her family. Mama's decision to give the quilts to Maggie instead of Dee, signaling a shift in power dynamics and highlighting the importance of heritage and tradition.
