First Required Post on Kincaid's _My Brother_

As you read Jamaica Kincaid's My Brother, (pgs 29-50) what stood out for you most? Are there any passages that you found particularly intriguing or puzzling? What, if any, questions do you have so far about the book?

What kind of research do you think Kincaid would have had to do to write this book? Do you see any parts in the text where she seems to be expressing some outside knowledge - knowledge that she would not necessarily know automatically, but have to look for or find out?

I think I wrote my post on the wrong page. I think I commented to Carol's post with a paragraph about myself. Oh well, I'll eventually figure this blogger thing out.

Carol Singh Alvarado- I am the indian looking girl, but I was actually born in Nepal, yet raised in Costa Rica. I got married to a brooklynite so thus my being here. I am in school for business and biology and on the side work as a FT personal trainer. I have many interests, 1- learning 2- unique people ans things 3- fitness and 4- travel. See you in class!
