The Estrangement by Jamaica Kincaid talks about relationship between a mother and her daughter. This relationship isnt so good in this story. In real life we often hear about closely relationships between this two persons. Otherwise happens with the girl that had 3 years without speaking with her mother. This sounds strange because we can imagine many people,but not the mother that had given you birth. She didnt feel the absence of her real father because,the father of her brothers replaced him and loves her to much. She dont agree with words that people said to her funeral because she and her brothers knew another personas their mother. This girl is the mother of two children and she compares herself with her mother and if she wanted to be with them in eternity. In the end she says "I do not know" this means that she isnt sure and her thoughts may be just for that moment.
The poem that I chose to comment is "Barbie Doll".A healthy and itelligent girl is judged by her class mate. They saw at her a big nose and fat legs. They judge for her appearance and dont estimate her character. In the end after she made a change,the opinion of people was"consummation at last" this means they continue to have the same opinion about her. She was influenced by those people who blamed for her features,this was the reason why she wants to look different.
