In Everyday Use

In Everyday Use, the family quilt is an item of cultural value. Identify one item that represents your culture and explain why. Please respond to 2 of your peers.

An item that represents our culture in our family would be a China Cabinet that my grandmother has had since her kids were babies. She started out in Puerto Rico and when she moved down to Hialeah, Florida she ordered for it to get here safe. Inside that China Cabinet you will find many dinner ware. Throughout the years my grandmother has collected and taken care of all these sets that you don't find anywhere theses days. I guess that most of the things you can call them antiques. In there she has included her own wine glass set that she used for her weddings and the ones that her three daughters used when they got married. She has dinner plates, soup plates, tea sets, and even coffee sets. They have a significant meaning in our lives. And it's something that she has taken the time to care for and something that she is planning on passing down for generations to come.
