Please pick out 1 or 2 "signifcant" passages from the story and tell us why they are "significant" to you. What is it about the passage(s) that you liked? How does it connect back to the semester's theme? Remember that enslavement/control comes in many forms.

Jamacia Kincaid's "Girl"
After reading the interview with Jamacia Kincaid on page 1483-1484, please respond to the following question(s). Please use examples from the text to back up your reponses.
How is the conflict between the mother and the girl in "Girl" able to be connected to today's society? Do you think that there are still specific skills that a woman, or a man, are expected to possess? Do you think the mother is being oppressive or just trying to prepare her daughter for the real world?
