Single story

The danger of a single story is dangerous when growing up your exposed to what people would explain to be not false accusations but not the full truth . Just because you know a general fact about a community a religion or even a race doesn't mean every person of that community , religion , or race is the same as the next person around them. Just because a black boy is from Texas or Tennessee or wherever doesn't mean is less of country as the white boy that lives next to him . Just because you see a African person doesn't mean they have tribes and they listen to African because and dance in circles to it. I'm not saying that they may have a different side to them but we take what we see on the outside and judge people based off of what we know or what we are told. Do you think it's a hahbit and that because it's a common thing that it's ok to give people a single story?

Stolen party

In the stolen party heker uses stratification to show the girl and the monkey have a connection by being pets she also shows that when you're in the cage you're usually stuck in it out and you can only do so much wherever the cage goes and how ever big the cage is. It's not a coincidence that the monkey was in the kitchen. But being in a cage is what's important, this is connected to Rosaura because rosaura is stuck in her mother's cage that she can't get out of because she was born into it. Rosaura believe having money and not having money don’t mean people can't be friends “rich people go to heaven too”(Heker 8) rosaura is explaining to her but her mother understands that's not the case. Being born into the help is going to keep you around people that's the help as well and that's what you're going to get used to. Rosaura was the only one allowed to see the pet monkey that was in the kitchen because again unknowingly she wasn't at the party as a guest she was going to be Senora Ines pet. Unfortunately there's no way out of this cage the Rosaura was born into. Do you feel like you would try to venture out and make no friends if you had the mind set as Rosaura when she said rich people go to heaven to? And do you feel like should money matter if that's the case? 

Girl

In "girl" she tries to help her daughter by giving her motherly advice  she also tries to scold her at the same time,  Kincaid uses repetition A lot mainly to warn her daughter on not become a slut. In girl  while reading and her explaining to her daughter on the things she suspend to do and the things she wasn't supposed to do. Do you feel like everything she was saying for example how your supposed to iron your fathers pants and shirts so there is not wrinkle is ok? Do you feel like women are brought being taught that tending to a man whenever he want is ok. Yes I feel like we have things that we ware supposed to do for husbands or boyfriends but there's a line that had to be drawn when enough is enough because woman are born maids .
