Explanation:

One of the major themes of the story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker is the importance of culture. The story reflects on the issue that a culture can be best preserved and respected by living it in its way instead of preserving it and carrying it away. Culture isn't preserved by distancing oneself from it and holding it under the veil of preserving it. Dee clicked the pictures of her mother, Maggie, and the house so that she can preserve those as a symbol of her culture.
