Jamaica Kincaid _ Girl

This story is just a list of demands as a daughter listens and only occasionally responds to. The reasoning behind her being spoke to this way is not defined, but I could see it being this way for more than one reason. It could be that her mother is just natured that way and was always very demanding and she only seen her mother as a “word of correction,” or she could want her daughter to do well. Sometimes people do not really act a certain way for any particular reason other than that is just the only way they know to be maybe because they were raised that way and do not know any other way to be. She could also just want what’s best for her and this is just a daughter poking frustration about her mother being on her all the time about doing right. It could also be a mother who is terminally ill and she wants to get all of this said before she dies. She may not speak an appropriate manner all the time, but she may just need to say some final words. She could also be talking to a teenager who been nothing but trouble in her life and she has been saying these things for so many years and now she is just speaking them all at one time just to make sure she has covered everything she mean to say. She could also just be a pushy and somewhat abusive person looking to just correct and force “right and justice” on her. Over all, I just think she is stressing the heart of a mother trying to say all the things a mother would want to say to a child throughout the molding of child. Many of these saying are the same or quite similar to the things my own mother use to say to me.
