Summary: In class today we went over the story Girl by Jamaica Kincaid. We went over how in our daily lives we have expectations such as you see in the story , what the mother tells her daughter.
Reflection: Today I learned how different cultural backgrounds have different expectations for everybody for example one cultural might not be able to show their hair when in another your allowed.
