NEED ANSWER ASAP Read the following excerpt from Alice Walker’s essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens.” As you read the excerpt, consider the reading selection, “Everyday Use.” And so our mothers and grandmothers have, more often than not anonymously, handed on the creative spark, the seed of the flower they themselves never hoped to see: or like a sealed letter they could not plainly read.

And so it is, certainly, with my own mother. Unlike "Ma" Rainey's songs, which retained their creator's name even while blasting forth from Bessie Smith's mouth, no song or poem will bear my mother's name. Yet so many of the stories that I write, that we all write, are my mother's stories . . . through years of listening to my mother's stories of her life, I have absorbed not only the stories themselves, but something of the manner in which she spoke, something of the urgency that involves the knowledge that her stories—like her life—must be recorded. It is probably for this reason that so much of what I have written is about characters whose counterparts in real life are so much older than I am.

But the telling of these stories . . . was not the only way my mother showed herself as an artist. For stories, too, were subject to being distracted, to dying without conclusion.

What are the central ideas of this text? How does Walker’s description of mothers in this excerpt from “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens” relate to the reading selection, “Everyday Use”? Do you think Dee and Maggie would agree with this view? Cite evidence from each of the texts to support your response. Your response should be two to three paragraphs in length.
