"My question for the next blogger would be... Have you ever had a situation where you wanted to express your opinion but you couldn't because of one reason or another? If so, what was the situation?" - Sal(previous entry)
I have, in certain heated situations and the best decision is to have no input at all cause having anything to say would just add fuel to the fire, but also not voicing an an opinion you feel so strongly about can be equally as difficult. Often, i find leaving something alone for a little is best cause sometimes the other may need to just cool off and discuss the issue when both are calm and can openly talk about a situation without so many motions involved complicating the issue, so Yes Sal i have had times where i haven't gotten to say my opinion.
now for my review of the assigned reading..
Kincaid describes a view of a whole new world through her own eyes and how it felt being in this new place and how different it is from her home. Kincaid wants to be able to enjoy and embrace this new life style but seems to find it difficultly adjusting to so many new things such as the weather, living arrangements and the whole new life style living with a new family that she was moving in with in New York.
When Kincaid becomes homesick she dreamt "eating a bowl of pink mullet and green figs cooked in coconut milk, and it had been cooked by her grandmother" which shows the connection she was making to how home sick she had truly become. She Dreams of eating home cooked foods that were cooked by who she loves and most likely misses the most, her grandmother.
my question for the next blogger is, have you even been the only new person to a group or place and it took some adjusting to getting used to the new situation in your life? how did you interact with others? (did you immediately create new friends or were u reserved/shy and became "home sick" and wanted to leave what it was that you were doing)
