I liked this one even though it was confusing at first. 2005/07/27 12:03:13 PDT by Nikita This is problably a story of how to be the "perfect woman". omG 2005/07/27 19:11:32 PDT by nobody I think maybe it's her mother who is talking to her of being the perfect woman like Nikita said. 2005/07/28 08:32:00 PDT by jetaway Just says what a proper young woman should do and not do. How if she does all those things, she will be respected Anonymous 2005/11/03 17:02:17 PST by kari burns I read part of a biography of Jamaica Kincaid. She's from Antigua and she left and moved to New York when the English were colonizing. Apparently one of her themes in her writing is the struggle against colonial orders which intrude on natives' lives, and I though "Girl" portrayed that perfectly. I think her mother represents the rules and regulations imposed on the natives' and how they are all forced to be something they are not.
