“don 't walk barehead in the hot sun”, I could have taken any other sentences from “Girl” poem, because most of them contain the same meaning. The meaning of how a mother takes care of her children. Yes, in a weird and very rude way. I can assume that author 's mother had a difficult life, or either experienced unstable relationships with her parents that affected her life since then, but she would never tell anyone about them. People have a tendency of making mistakes. Being busy with a household and fighting with poverty there would be no time to look back at one’s life, analyze mistakes and make improvements. As I read mother’s chores, I notice that mother was sharing her life knowledge. Probably most important errands she could think …show more content…

Rhetoric.

1. “The Estrangements”.

I looked up the definition it seems like an ideal title for the story. By naming her writing “The Estrangements” Kincaid showed how she feels, how her mother acted, and how everything ended up. The author suffers from not receiving proper love and care from her mother. Mother never tried to understand her kids, and to see a completely different individuality behind every one of them. She did not express her love the way they wanted. However, kids always felt isolated and alone with the burdens of life. Author has been estranged from her mother. ( Unclear)

Writing.

3 . An Ideal parenting never existed. Our parents, their parents and so on, did everything they thought and could that would be better for their kids. Wanted or not, but we all are influenced in a certain way by our parents. It is always going to be a part of our self-identification, personal “I”. Running away from that won’t help, but hurt existence and will bring sad memories. We must accept and forgive bad things, brave ourselves and try to overcome non-desired consequences. We should learn to treat positive sides we had received during our growing process. Being an adult requires a mental escape from parents. We should take responsibilities for our actions, stop blaming parents for what they did or did not. Being able to identify ourselves as a separate person and not a part of mother/father being, like an arm or leg. It is uneasy, but it would definitely improve

The advice consists of how to do many domestic acts such as Antiguan dishes, being a respectable young lady and many small suggestions to not have a ruined reputation amongst the society the young girl is living in. Throughout the short story uses symbolism to emphasize the theme entirely so the girl learns to behave and be pure in front of others who watch her every move.

Jamaica Kincaid’s “Girl” is a very interesting story. In short it is about an unspecified guardian giving life advice to a young girl; the range of this advice varies from dress and grooming to medicinal recipes. The older woman, also referred to as the “guardian”, is not censored about this advice either. While people may think that “Girl” is a minor tale of verbal abuse, I prefer to think of it as story of tough love as well as hope that the girl will do better in life then the adult.

Best of the Worst Parenting is never perfect. Every parents questions whether they are raising their child correctly, and no parent ever feels like they are doing the right thing. With no clear distinction between good and bad parenting, it is usually left to personal preferences and judgements to decide which parents have adequately raised their children and which have failed. When a parent so call “fails,” often it is the children with their strong will and determination to survive that collectively raise themselves. In Jesmyn Ward’s Sing, Unburied, Sing, Leonie, one of the narrators and the mother of another narrator, Jojo, is not the most caring, hands-on mother, but is loving of her children nevertheless.

No matter how people learn lessons, they will stay with the person forever, and help them through life. In the short stories “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara and “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, there is lesson that a character will learn about life. Although, in “The Lesson”, the teaching was more profound and had a deeper meaning behind it, while “Girl” was a parent forcing instructions on a child in order for the child to learn how a woman is to live. This being said, the teaching is more profound in “The Lesson” than the one given in “Girl.” “Girl” is a short story that teaches that there are many lessons we learn throughout life from parents, or in this case, a single parent.

In her thought provoking essay “In History,” author Jamaica Kincaid explores the idea of naming things in a historical context through various anecdotes. Kincaid makes a purposeful choice to tell her story non chronologically, beginning with the tale of Columbus, putting her own reflection on plant nomenclature in the middle, and ending with an overview of Carl Linnaeus, the inventor of the plant naming system. This choice gives Kincaid the opportunity to fully vet out each point that she makes, an opportunity she wouldn’t have gotten had she written her essay in chronological order. Throughout each anecdote that Kincaid tells, the theme of names and giving things names is central. Kincaid argues that by giving something a name, one unrightfully takes ownership of it and erases its history.
