Due Dates:

Assignment objective:

• Using notes from reading the first two sections (pp. 3-37) of Jamaica Kincaid’s A Small Place, students will demonstrate an awareness of the genre of post-colonial/travel writing.

Additionally, students will write of how the author introduces an argument, based on a satirical style, that lends credibility to an author.

• Students also will demonstrate both a personal connection to the text and a connection to current events.

Connection to module objectives:

Read and interpret a book-length text.

Understand the relationship between meaning and language manipulation, and between language and logic.

Steps:

• Kincaid’s first two sections of A Small Place seem to propel the reader into the underbelly of a tourist vacation on the sunny island of Antigua. After digesting Kincaid’s rebuke of “you,” the tourist, some readers many become offended. Moreover, if someone was planning a Caribbean or any other tropical vacation in the future (Cancun anyone?), Kincaid’s words cannot help but put a damper on those plans. Or not.  

In at least 200 words, describe and explain your impressions of Kincaid’s polemic on tourist’s inattention to the plight of the island’s native inhabitants. JTLUK, I like vacationing in the warm waters, sandy beaches, drinking (something), and swaying with the palms, but…. Is the author being too rude? And should we just stop going on Caribbean vacations?
