If anyone feels like reading the thesis of my term paper... :) In A Small Place, Jamaica Kincaid uses her complex insider-outsider status within each of the three countries she was shaped by in her life—Britain, America, and her native Antigua—to argue that the reason islanders must rely on white culture for survival is due to the continual degradation of the education system. Her comprehension of the complex issues within each of these societies allows her to prove to her primarily white audience that, though native Antiguans have technically been granted “freedom” from English rule, over the course of time they have experienced an escalation of dependence on tourism for survival as education and literacy have decreased. This process, despite opinions to the contrary, continues to enforce the legacy of slavery that is an intrinsic part of the founding of the country. Though Antiguans celebrate their monumental Independence Day every year, there is an equally disturbing quality that hides beneath this holiday that Kincaid examines and exposes in this work. Her triangulated identity allows her to effectively explore the reasons for this state of educational decay, revealing the negative and positive effects of the British colonization and subsequent abandonment of Antigua, the rise of the American tourism industry and their lack of effectiveness in furthering education and literacy, and finally analyzing the Antiguan people themselves. Though they have little to work with in the way of natural resources, as human beings they have agency to make decisions, whether good or bad. Many embrace the white culture they rely on, even though they will never have full access to it or be viewed as equals by the conquering race. All of these variables render them more dependent on the European and Western world than ever before, and cut off almost all hope for educational improvements within the government, largely blocking any chance for the vast majority of islanders to escape this more evolved and unsettling form of slavery that exists today.

Not Bradbury's finest, but definitely ten steps above most books. A murder mystery, noir type story introducing the characters used in his other books "A Graveyard for Lunatics" and "Let's All Kill Constance."

Solid beginning, interesting concept, well written, but 200 pages too long. It was the kind of book that too good to quit after you are already wrapped up, but it could have been alot better. Some fun plot twists keep you guessing but the 'big' ending is slightly predictable.

** spoiler alert ** Beautiful writing for the young generation. It has never stopped inspiring in the indicative people, the power has been kept over decades. I have once watched the movie based on this novel. I must admit that I truly adored a garden that was created in movie: ran better than the imagination. However, watching the movie before reading a book was not a good idea. When I was moving to read book, I already knew how it was ended. That thought got me to the boredom. Therefore I did not finish the book, so I could not rank The Secret Garden for 5 starts :)

An amazing work of poetry by one of my favorite poets/spoken word artists. Many of her poems are about Palestine, as she is a Palestinian-American. The book even comes with a CD so you can hear her perform---she's absolutely brilliant.

Bu eğlenceli bir okuma oldu! Kolay bir okuma değildi. Buraya oraya sürüklenmiş gibi görünüyordu ve hikaye için ana bir zirveye sahip değildi, ama komik kısımları vardı! Birkaç kez yüksek sesle güldüm. Mark Twain ilginç bir adam. Onun hayatı hakkında bilgi edinmek hoşuma gitti. Muhtemelen bir daha asla okumaz, ama okuduğuma sevindim.
