The reading "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid is strong. In my opinion, this text wants to convey a message to women as well as mothers and daughters. The text, initially reveals what are the stereotypes of women with the clothes you wear and the people that must be passed. The main voice of this text is a mother speaking to her daughter as they should behave. The mother is rude and insensitive to the expressions that tells his daughter. Her mother insists that there is only one form and way of doing things and that there is only a behavior that his daughter should follow. This text struck me and I will share this reading to other people to reflect on how we treat our children.
Are you saying that clothes define what a woman is? Also, if a woman is seen with the wrong people, she will be treated as one of them? I agree with you, those are the stereotypes of women in our society.
