Reading Notes Week 15B- Girl

Girl Jamaica Kincaid 1144-1146

I remember reading this story in a previous english class, I think English 100?

Girl by Jamaica Kincaid at orders for a young girl that she must abide by as she grows up. Societal norms. “Always eat your food in such a way that it won’t turn someone else’s stomach” 1145
This is how you...
This is how you...
This is how you...


I think this is written from a mother's perspective and she is lecturing her daughter on how she needs to act and what duties she is supposed to fulfill.

  1. It’s cool that you were able to recognize this story from reading it in a previous English class. I like how you wrote down those repeating phrases in your notes, the story was noticeably repetitive as the mother was really trying to get her point across to her daughter. Your notes are short, but I think they really captured the main message of what’s occurring in the story.
