Girl by Jamaica Kincaid

OK, so my honest opinion Girl by Jamaica Kincaid, is a really weird short story. There are little to no punctuation marks to show the end of a sentence so it just seems to ramble on and on. I really didn't like it, my reasons having nothing to do with the writer. I can really relate to the person who is being spoken to, having orders barked at them or telling them how to do things a particular way. My mom does this to me and it really bothers me. If I do something a certain way, its automatically wrong and she has to tell me the right way to do it.....which is essentially the same way I just did it. The only difference is that she told me to do it and watched me do it. Then theres the factor of calling the girl a slut. I wont go as far as to say my mom does that to me, but she's certainly come close....though I am no where near being one. Thanks mom. The wording of Girl isn't asking the other person to do something, it's telling. Thats something that gets under my skin with my mom. If you want me to do something, ask me, don't tell me. You have a better chance of getting me to do that thing if you ask me vs telling me. Telling me is going to get you a snippy attitude, and a reluctance to do it.
