A Small Place

This is actually my favorite piece of reading during the semester. I just found the entire thing funny. I don't think Kincaid meant for the entire thing to be funny but I pretty much laughed throughout. Laughing is one of my favorite things so that probably why this reading was the best for me. Also growing up in the Caribbean, while not Antigua, some of this I could identify with. I know only a little about Antigua but Trinidad had some of the same problems that Kincaid was addressing in here unique style. The sorting of priorities is probably the main thing I identified with. That was a problem I found existed in Trinidad even as a kid. I never understood why the government would spend so much money on unnecessary hings and never put enough money it things like roads and hospitals.
