Thank you for asking the question.
In the story "everyday use" Dee want to change her cultural identity because she thinks it's the old one and is dead now in modern days so she wants to change in order to make it fashionable. Actually Dee was quit influenced by her social environment so she think an old times thing must be rejected and she actually was paying attention to what the other people thinks.

Everyday Use is a story written by Alice Walker. The narrator in the story talks about herself, her two daughters who are very different from each other and their home.
One daughter, Dee was a force to be reckoned with. She was more attractive than Maggie, her sister. She forced her learning and knowledge onto her uneducated mother and sister and showed no desire in helping them and was controlling them.
Dee wanted nice things and modified her clothes that were gifted by her mother. She looks to change her identity and name as she says she was oppressed and wanted to break away from the family. She wanted to remove herself from the family of slaves as she was ashamed of it and does not value the belongings of her grandmother or mother.
