Assingment:"The Estrangement by Jamaica Kincaid and "Doors opening, closing at us" by Marge Piercy.

''The Estrangement'' by Jamaica Kincaid
Kincaid essay is about the complex relationship she had with her mother and how her criticism change after her experience as a mother.
A mother is such a complex figure to think about. Mothers are expected to be loving,caring but also disciplinary. Around the world mothers share different values,belief on raisin their children.
The Estrangement is very different to this. The sentence which is the most unpleasant is the one which sad ...that the life I lived was nothing more
than a silly show ,that she truly wished me dead". Haw can a woman say these word to her doughtier Her mother was not proud if her doughtier. Then she tells that she stopped talking to her mother after that conversation that had on the phone. On my opinion maybe this action of Jamaica was not right. Regardless of everything she is her mother. Her mother was seen by the community where she had lived as a nice person but she wasn't the same with her children.
In spite of that Jamaica learns from the mistake that her mother did with them. And she behaves good with their own children.She is a good mother who loves her children and want to be with them as long as possible  not like her mother who had done the opposite. The main themes of Jamaica essay are motherhood and the Independence.
 "Doors opening, closing on us"  ,by Marge Piercy.
On my opinion this poems is a very beautiful one. The tittle tells about the poem before reading it. On the poem doors are more concrete somehow an image of going from one state or another,one area ,one phase of ones life to another because you can't see beyond a door when its shut.
There can always be a surprise on the other side of the door. The poem is like a negative poem becouse it is like showing sadness through out the whole poem.
