you mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker wont let near the bread? Im a bit baffled on this short story I get that the setting is a mothers intructions to a daughter - are these instructions during an entire raising time period? or is it in a matter of days... any help on this story would be appreciated

It talks about her old town and stuff

Schools out, but I'd like to get a idea on which summer reading book I should look for. I don't mind reading, so I don't mind length, just something interesting and compelling. If you've read any, even one, off this list, please tell me how it was. Thanks! The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlen Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid The Circuit by Francisco Jimenez Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams Republic of East L.A by Luis Rodriguez Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer Death Watch by Robb White Any Small Goodness by Tony Johnston

i have to read an essay by one of the following authors for english AP summer work. Gwendolyn Brooks Sandra Cisneros Ralph Ellison Annie Dillard Jamaica Kincaid Barbara Kingsolver George Orwel Amy Tan Gore Vidal Eudora Welty E. B. White Virginia Woolf i've never heard of anyone in that list and i don't know which essay is good/easy to understand. Can you help me choose one..? p.s. it says "read an essay" not a novel but when i googled their names it says they wrote novels..?wtf

My Am. Lit. professor is expecting the class to have this story read for our exam tomorrow, yet I cannot find whether or not this story exists. The exam is literally hours away and I have yet to find a reference to this "story" anywhere on the internet. It's apparently listed in the class's textbook (which I don't have) but I can't find it. Wikipedia lists all of Jamaica Kincaid's works but "Mariah" isn't listed. PLEASE HELP!!!!

i need quotes on the maturation of annie john from the book. for example quotes on physical social and emotion maturation. they need to be from the book. any help would be appreciated, they need to be quotes that back up or prove the maturation. thank you very much to anyone that helps.

I'm putting together a sample syllabus for my Literature and Pedagogy class, and I'm leaning towards a theme of post-colonial/comparative literature where I pair stories from a white colonial perspective with stories or poems from the "other" perspective of the non-white and colonized/affected populations. I'm trying to keep the topics within the same times and places. An example of a narrative pair I'm using would be: Jane Eyre (Emphasis on the colonial presence around the periphery of the story and the language/spatiality used to place Jane as an "other" herself) vs. Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys (A story about Rochester's wife from HER perspective, using it as an example of the alternative narrative--the other side of the coin) My professor really wants me to use Jamaica Kincaid, I think because she's just fond of the author, but I'd like to do something besides another West Indies and Caribbean setting. I have plenty of white perspectives of colonial Egypt and other parts of Africa such as: Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness Gustave Flaubert's Journals of Egypt and Florence Nightingales 'Letters from Egypt' but I'm having trouble finding the "alternative" perspective to these white colonial narratives. It doesn't matter if it was written AT the time (during the 19th century) or at a later date (Wide Sargasso Sea was written in the 1960s, for example) but it would be nice if the setting of the novel, short story or poem was roughly equivalent to the 1840s-1890s setting of the white narratives I've listed above. Any suggestions? Reasons why you think your suggestions work? Am I just plain crazy?

I need to do a project. I have a bunch of authors to work with, but I'm not sure which one is right for me. There is a huge list, sorry, but if you see one that I may like, please let me know. I like horror, comedy, and modern books (modern, meaning the setting is in the present...) I hate mystery books, and books that have anything to do with the past, like, historical books. I love plot twists, and twisted endings, if that helps...

I'm an English teacher - and I'm having a hard time locating good authors who wrote about colonialism and/or postcolonialism. Jamaica Kincaid would be good - but her stuff isn't available on line because it's still copyrighted. Do you guys know any author who might be good that is available online?

so i got 4 new ones at the library and i honestly dont know ANYTHING about any of them, so if you've read them then could you just tell me if they're good or not? thankss :) 1) Girl With a Pearl Earring -- Tracy Chevelier 2) The Lady and the Unicorn -- Tracy Chevelier 3) Annie John -- Jamaica Kincaid 4) The color Purlple -- Alice Walker also, if you have any good books that you'd like to recommend then tell me! i LOVE a great and terrible beauty, and teen drama romances set around the 1800's ALSO, if you've read Atonement, or Blood of Flowers, could you give me reviews on those too? thanks!

do u know any movies or tv shows about mother and daughter relationship that i can use as a source for my paper about annie john by jamaica kincaid. even if u know any sources for that subject (articles, books, websites...etc) my teacher asked for 15-20 sources, i dont have enough, please help me!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid Does anyone see a common theme between these two works? What is that common theme?

where can i find it?

Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl," Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" Raymond Carver's "Cathedral," James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues," thats not the whole sentence.. just part of it, the question is... do i put a comma after the question mark? after "Where Have You Been?" to connect the thoughts or no?

I really need help, What is the attitude of this passage? It would be very much apreciated seein as i only have 2 more hours till i'd actually wake up for school (had to write 2 other essays), so yeah thanks. heres a link to the passage http://web.cwoc.ufl.edu/owl/TutorialSessions/1120602bm.html It starts with " When i saw England for the first time, i was a chlid in school sitting at a desk".... & ends with "that i was unable to draw a map of England correctly. "

I am writing a final paper for a History of Caribbean class, and I kind of stuck on where to start. I basically have an idea of what I want to write on, but would just like some other opinions on the book, and what you think she was trying to get across.

i need to proof read it any suggestions and this has to be convey an audience,place or perosn and we got this idea froma essay of JAMAICA KINCAID and so i tried to do it like hers these are her first sentences of her essay "Girl," "wash the white clothes on monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on tuesday and put them on the clothsline to dry;dont walk barehead.....(and keeps goingin that style with no points) Check Cashing Cashier Be respectful with clients and coworkers. Promote the company’s name. Be exclusive, remember that you are not the only one doing this job and if people do not like the service, they would prefer another place. Avoid showing you are inexpert; they might notice it and won’t want you to serve them. Be careful on whom you trust, you must not allow strangers to enter in your working area. Some people might want to trick you for the lack of preparation that you might show. Someone might want to cheat you by giving you fake money or checks. Once you receive an amount for a payment count the money, and do it three times if you have to. Dealing with money is a serious thing. Always give customers their change back, even pennies. Be an employee of trust, never steal or keep anything, remember if this happens to you, it will harm your reputation for the rest of your life. Also, do not mix your personal problems with your job. Never show them an upset face, instead, smile all the time. Always show your clients that you care not only about their collaboration but also about their health and life, and so this is how you gain tips and charisma, an option would be to ask them how they feel during the past weekend. The purpose is to make them feel comfortable, like in their house. You don’t want to let them leave worse than when they enter. Also always keep this in mind; do your best, pay 110% attention to your clients. Business is about Professionalism. You have to show everyone; your coworkers, boss and clients that you have that position for a reason; you are professional and prepared.

Even in the best industry, if it’s dirty, people will consider it unprofessional setting; you must remember; first impression is valuable. High-quality presentation grabs clients’ attention. If you eat always toss your remains in the garbage. You must clean the area where you eat, keep that in mind. As a cashier, you have to greet every single customer first. If they come complaining about your service, you must listen carefully to them, and resolve their problems with hands of “silk”. Customers are always right, never fall in discussions with them.

-Neighbors by Raymond Carver -The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien -Barn Burning by William Faulkner -What I Have Been Doing Lately by Jamaica Kincaid -Soldier's Home by Ernest Hemingway -A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings translated by Garbriel Marquez -A Hunger Artist translated by Willa and Edwin Muir -The Curse by Andre Dubus -A Good man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Connor I thought about using "The Curse" by Andre Dubus and comparing the actions and emotion of the rape victim to Leda, whos was seduced/raped by Zeus when he turned himself into a swan.
