What view of life does the story present? Which character best articulates this viewpoint?

The Domestication of Women in
Girl
Throughout time, mother-daughter relationships have been tattered as the
liberation of the woman has taken place. Many mothers have the “old fashioned” opinion
about what a woman should be. The short story “Girl”, by Jamaica Kincaid, is a prime
example of this relationship. The theme in “Girl” strongly suggests that a woman should
be domesticated and there is a certain way she should act.
Many elder women feel that a woman’s role in life is to be domesticated. The
theme of girl reinforces this opinion. The third person point of view places an important
part in the reinforcement of the idea that a woman’s place is in the home. “Wash the white
clothes on Monday and put them on the stone heap; wash the color clothes on Tuesday
and put them on the clothesline to dry” (Kincaid 296). This is the mother telling the
daughter that this is the way to do things.
The mother also goes on to describe other household chores and how to do them
correctly. “This is how you sweep a corner” (Kincaid 296). She tells her daughter how to
set a table for different meals, how to cook things, and how to pick out bread. The story
does not tell a woman how to have a successful career, to go to college, or how to work
outside of the home. Considering the year that this story is written, 1978, women’s

liberation is taking place. This gives setting an important role in the interpretation of the
theme. Many young girls started to rebel against their mothers as they decided to work
out of the home. The young girl in the story is building resentment towards her mother
because she feels that should be allowed to make her own decision on whether or not to
be domesticated. This leads to the issue of why the point of view in this story is so
essential. The mother telling this story never once stops to hear the daughter’s input on
these issues. She simply tells the daughter that she needs to be domestic and there is no
objecting it. This reinforces the idea that elder woman feel that a woman’s place is in the
home.
Many women in society feel that a woman should act a certain way. This is once
again reiterated in this story. The mother tells the daughter how to act. She tells the
daughter how to act, how to dress, and how to talk. “Always eat your food in a way that it
won’t turn someone else’s stomach” (Kincaid 296). A woman should be allowed to make
her own choice on how she eats. “On Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut
that you are so bent on becoming” (Kincaid 296). The mother is emphasizing that the
way a woman walks reflects her sexual history. Once again this reiterates that a woman
must act a certain way to avoid being judged. The setting of this story once again plays a
major role in the theme of this story. “This is how to behave in the presence of men who
don’t know you very well” (Kincaid 296). The mother tells her daughter how to act in
front of men, so that she will find an acceptable man. The theme definitely demonstrates
that a woman is expected to behave in a certain manner.
“Girl” tells the story of a sad mother-daughter relationship and the pressure that
young girls faced when sent out into society. Many elements of literature demonstrate
Nessy 3
this in the story. However, the theme strongly suggests that elder woman feels that, as
woman, there is a right and wrong way to be.

How to develop a less-developed country? Each student will select a country, summarize its current level of development, and discuss how that country can improve their level of development.

**Students must okay their country with me. I will write down which country each student selects. The same country cannot be used by more than one student in class. Students will not actually be presenting this in front of the class. Its a project you are turning in for me to grade.**The project should describe 7 different ways your country is struggling and methods to improve their situation. Think about all the challenges your country must overcome and how you would go about developing. (When thinking about the ways your country is struggling, think about the different topics we cover in each chapter. For instance, economic challenges, education, resources, physical geography such as deserts or earthquakes, environmental issues, land-use, infrastructure challenges, governments/politics such as corruption, strained relationships with other countries, is there any conflict in that country, etc.)Powerpoint presentation must include:-title page (first slide)-table of contents (outline)-map of the country- 7 problems/challenges and ways to improve them. (For each problem describe why it is a problem and then for the solutions think about what the country or non-profits are trying to do to help this problem. For the solutions, you can include some of your own ideas, but they shouldn’t all be your ideas. Don’t combine a problem and its solutions on the same slide, as that is not enough detail. On one slide, describe why its a problem. Then on the next slide, describe what is being done to improve it.)-landscape images throughout the project (photos that connect back to your countries “problems”)-in-text citations on each slide (Everything must be cited on each slide (whether that is the information, maps, diagrams, or photos. Each slide should have a shortened citation, with the full citation at the end on the References/Works Cited page.)-References/Works Cited page (last slide). (Students need to use at least 6 sources. And Wikipedia cannot be used for this research project.)-No less than 11 slides. No more than 20.- All sentences must be paraphrased (no coping/pasting and no quoting). (Yes, you cancopy/paste photos. Just be sure to cite, whether you paraphrase or use a photo.)-This is Powerpoint presentation, so you do not need to write in essay/paragraph format. The slides should be a combination of sentences and phrases. (Similar to how I use Powerpoint in class.)-The project should be submitted into the D2L Brightspace assignment folder by midnight on No late projects will be accepted. (Students can turn it in as early as they want. You do not need to wait for the last day to submit it.) To submit on D2L Brightspace, go to “Assessments” and then “Assignments”. Please scroll down below the rubric for details on how to submit the project.-See below for the rubric I will use when grading the project.Low scoreOkay, but needs workPretty goodHigh scoreYour PointsTotal PossibleOrganization of the presentationSequence of information is difficult to followReader has some difficulty following work because the student jumps around a bitInformation is in a logical sequenceInformation is in a logical sequence, its interesting, and well organized10Presentation is attractiveText is too small; cannot read from a distance of 3 feet; little use of pictures or other graphics; used paragraphsText is difficult to read on some slides; could use more pictures and graphicsText is readable; good use of pictures and graphicsText is well presented; used bullet points instead of paragraphs and sentences; excellent use of graphics10Followed DirectionsStudent does not really follow direction & has veered away from the presentations purpose for most of it.Student has somewhat stayed on task and/or veered away from the presentations purpose for a short while.Student has followed directions and stayed on track adequately.All requirements were full-filled10Transitions/ FlowTransitions are not used and there is not a good flow from one idea to the next.Transitions arent used very often, which makes the presentation seem a little choppy.Project does a pretty good job of shifting from one idea to the next.The presentation flows very well.
