"Maggie smiled; maybe at the sunglasses. But a real smile, not scared." (pg. 181)
Throughout this short story, there were three main characterizations made. Maggie is the little sister who stands in the corners, kind of to herself. She seems innocent like a child and really just sees life as it is. Mama is seen as someone who sticks up for Maggie in the story because Maggie won't stick up for herself. The reader and Mama could tell that Maggie wanted the quilts when they were arguing, but she wasn't speaking up. She was letting Dee run all over her, and she was going to let her take the quilts until Mama stepped in. Dee is a character who is very arrogant and ungrateful. She tries to get everything her way. I really did not like Dee's character because she was a brat who would not take no for an answer, even when the quilts weren't hers to begin with.
