    In the short story, Jamaica Kincaid writes from the perspective of the mother who displays a sort of illusion of society in which the female is submissive to the male. For example, multiple times throughout the short story the mother mentions the phrase “the slut you are bent on becoming” when addressing the daughter or girl in the story (Kincaid “Girl”). It appears as if the mother uses the “slut” comment as a way to control the girl. Furthermore, the girl is discouraged from exploring her sexuality because the mother bullies her to keep her in submission. However, that control originates from a want for security for the girl.…

    “Tough Love” Since we were born there was always one person we relied on which would be our mothers, if we were fortunate to have her, because moms are our care takers till we are able to do things on our own as they guide us through the process, once we are on our own mothers are always there to demonstrate the correct way no matter your age. Sometimes mothers are so pushy with small details because they want the best out of us and know we can achieve so much.

    Some elements, like the girl 's memories of her mother 's fearless life, and her love for music, give her the strength to be brave and resist, but at other times she falters and falls back into victimhood.

Her revaluation of gender roles is not idealised, it stays close to the historical realities of the times her tales are set in.…
