Girl

Girl While reading the story “GIRL” by Jamaica Kincaid I came to the assumption the author was trying to persuade the reader into believing that society expects much more out of a women then they do a man. I feel, now in today’s society this is somewhat true. I disagree though, with the speculation that our society puts all the jobs and responsibilities of everyday life on women’s shoulders. I do agree that women take on a part similar or equal to men in the everyday work category whether it happen to be in the job field or in the household. I also agree that in some societies this may differ. For example, my family is the type of family where both parents contribute greatly. My mother and father both work full time jobs. When they come home from work they help each other with the chores around the house. My mother though, does not support the family or do everything around the house by herself. She is not expected to do everything by herself, which contradicts the viewpoint the story was trying to get across to the reader.
