Comic Strip pt.2
Storyboard Text
- At dinner, Dee becomes infatuated with the dasher and the butter churn. She demands rather than asks Mama for these items. Dee sees that aesthetic value behind these items.
- This churn top is what I need. And I want the dasher, too. I can use thechurn top as a centerpiece for the alcove table, and I’ll think of something artistic to do with the dasher.
- Dee asks Mama if she can take two quilts that her grandmother who passed away had made. Mama tries to reject her request but Dee insists on taking them. She is oblivious to the fact that Maggie seems to be upset after hearing this request.
- Mama, can I have these old quilts?
- No, I don’t want those. They are stitched around the borders by machine.”
- Why don’t you take one or two of the others?These old things was just done by me and Big Dee from some tops your grandma pieced before she died.
- Mama explains that she already promised Maggie to give her these quilts. Dee is furious as she believes that Maggie would put them to everyday use and not appreciate the fact that it comes from her heritage. Mama states that she would be pleased if Maggie uses the quilts. The simile gasped like a bee had stung her shows just how mad Dee was to learning that Maggie is going to take the quilts. This simile benefits the story as it helps the reader understand how furious Dee was.
- *Dee gasps like a bee had stung her. *Maggie can’t appreciate these quilts! She’d probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use.
- I reckon she would, god knows I been saving ’em for long enough with nobody using ’em. I hope she will!
- The truth is, I promised to give them quilts to Maggie, for when she marries John Thomas.
