As long as you turn in your best efforts, you will receive a passing grade on this assignment. You will also receive feedback! If you quote from the piece, please cite properly. Consider when this piece was published and that Kincaid was born and spent the early part of her life in Antigua when responding to the prompts below.

Write one-two paragraphs of response to the piece. Who is the speaker? To whom is this person speaking? What is the speaker saying about women’s roles? What is the speaker’s attitude toward the person being spoken to? How do you think this reflects the speaker’s attitude about themselves and their role(s)? Can you relate this work to the current time period in some way? You may also include any connections you made between the short piece and your own experience, or that of someone you know, if you can you share those ideas in a general way (without using “I” or “you” pronouns.)
