Creating A Class Creating a Class The short stories “ Everyday Use” by Alice Walker and “ The Prodigal Son” have many similarities that put them in the same class. There are three similarities that stick out the most though in my mind. The main similarity is that they both deal with jealousy. Another similarity is that they are focused on family relationships, and finally they both involve only one parent two take care of more than one child. Jealousy is a key factor in both of these short stories. In the short story “Everyday Use” the younger daughter is jealous of her older sibling because of a few reasons; the older daughter is prettier, smarter, and has lived her life more fully. However, I feel that you can also see the older daughter as being jealous of how much closer the younger daughter is with the mother and how she is more aware of the family and the families past. In “The Prodigal Son” the older son is jealous of his younger brother because he feels that the younger brother should not have received half of the father’s assets and that the father should not have taken him back and showered him stories, both, story, short, one, family, everyday, younger, son, similarities, older, jealous, daughter, similarity, prodigal, parent, much, jealousy, feel, because, take, sula, siblings, sibling, should, relationships, relationship, out, mother, just, however, house, father, families, each
