"I did something I never had done before: hugged Maggie to me, then dragged her on into the room, snatched the quilts out of Miss Wangero's hands and dumped them into Maggie's lap." PAGE 181
This shows how Mama is a round character. In the beginning she is a pushover. She lets Dee walk all over her. Dee comes in and is not grateful for what her mother has done for her at all. She just lets Dee take stuff that she wants from her house without even asking for it. Mama also seems rough because she says that she could kill a calf, but she does not act like that any more. She now seems quiet and timid. She is more of an observer than an active participant as the events of the story unfold. This changes when Dee decides that she is going to take the quilts. She first starts to say that they are for Maggie. Then she gets more firm in her argument as Dee persists. I am glad she stuck up for Maggie and herself. Dee needed to be put in her place. She used her force and did not back down and I applaud her for that.
