Reaction of A small place

    Jamaica Kincaid in a small place writes about the Antiguan government tourist industry and the legacy left by the British in Antigua. She critizies about England and talks about their hostility. Me as reader i could  feel the hatred and the anger the author feels toward England colonialism and it effects. In the novel, she points a picture of emotions she has about slave trading and the erasing of a culture that is native to Antigua. Kincaid also uses many literary devices like metaphor to strengthen her voice on a event that dominated a great part of her life. I asume that when she talks about how an invasion of one's homeland can create an atmosphere that can change a person's point of view of life forever. Jamaica Kincaid also uses literary devices in this essay such as diction and repetition in order to portray her distasteful attitude towards England domination of Antigua, which is the recurring theme in the essay. In the beggining,Kincaid writes about England with rembrence of her childhod. Althought it sounds like adulation when she states that England is a "special jewel alright ,and only special people got towear it",her sarcastic voice is evident here when she uses "special"and " alright".The use of those words highlith her true feelings of England. She does not feel that England is actually all that special and precious like people tend to believe. Even though only a certain few enjoy England , it is apparent that this idea does not apply Kincaid.

    Jamaica kincaid uses the word "you" alot, trying to open the tourist eyes. She also wants us to fill uncomfortable  and realize that Antigua benith the beauty it has, is an island with lots of history. The tourist has to respect every place they go and has to know about the culture and all the important things it has as an island. We can not only focused on the beauty, we need to learned and appriciate all the pass it had. So that we can some how admire, respect, and appriciate all the things that know a day we see in every place we visit.
