Emily Yates Dr. Tatum English 1302.NT2 26 September 2013 Character Analysis of Ms. Johnson in “Everyday Use” When you think of a woman that grew up in the twenties and thirties and is the mother of two grown daughters in the seventies, you usually think of a woman that has a husband that takes care of the family and she is the housewife that takes care of the kids.

Being placed in foster care was extremely difficult for the siblings, who were separated and sent to live in different counties. Nai had become used to serving as caretaker for her younger siblings, and spent the first couple of years in foster care worrying about her brothers and sisters. Visitation opportunities together were rare, and over time Nai became resentful of and disappointed in her parents for being unable to “put the family back together again.” She had a very difficult time dealing
They did a lot of moving around, from having to live with relatives to living in government housing.

Ever since I was little there have always been two careers that have sparked my interest and that I’ve wanted to pursue. The first career is nursing, which I got from my Aunt who attended Illinois State University. She really enjoyed ISU and loves her nursing job today.
