Dee’s character analysis.pptVIP

Dee’s character analysis 1)Appearance Dee is lighter than Maggie, with nicer hair and a fuller figure; Her feet are always neat-looking; her hair stands straight up like the wool on a sheep, it is black as night . She is fashionable, good at dressing herself up, she has a style of her own, and knows what style is. 2)Behavior I see her standing off under the sweet gum tree she used to dig gum out of; a look of concentration on her face as she watched the last dingy gray board of the house fall in toward the red-hot brick chimney…(p.55) She hated the house, so she was very calm maybe a little happy when seeing the house being burnt. She only cares about her own interests. 3)Language “ This churn top is what I need,”…“ And I want the dasher, too.”… “Can I have these old quilts?” We can see that Dee is straightforward, just as our textbook says, hesitation was no part of her nature. “She held the quilts securely in her arms, stroking them.”… “Dee moved back just enough so that I couldn’t reach the quilts. They already belonged to her.” She wants nice things, and takes it for granted that she deserves to get everything she wants. Her behavior is in some degree very rude, it is no part of a grace lady Maggie said “ Mama, when did Dee ever have any friends?” It reveals that Dee is bad-tempered and is not easy to get along with. Furtive boys in pink shirts hanging about on washday after school. Nervous girls who never laughed. Dee has a special taste in choosing friends When she was courting Jimmy T she didn’t have much time to pay to us, but turned all her faultfinding power on him. Conclusion Dee is a fashionable ,well-educated women, who has held life always in the palm of one hand, meanwhile, she is self-confident and determined. However, she has no sympathy for others, she only live for herself. From her, we can see the American individualism. * She washed us in a river of make-believe, burned us with a lot of kno
