Two Small Worlds, One Family

A Small Place, by Jamaica Kincaid is based on the small island of Antigua.  Jamaica Kincaid is obviously angry about the state her island has come to, and intelligent in the words she choose to express her view of Antigua.  Similar to Puerto Rico, Antigua is a very beautiful natural island, but the reality that lays behind its beauty is the problem.  Many people live in ways you would think "How can he/she live that way and works doing this?"  It's true what she talks about how things change from time to time.  Puerto Rico has change in a certain way from being the island of enchantment to being a place where people are almost scare to go out to places that where in a way in peace.

I resemble Antigua, in the way they had to express themselves with the British language, to my island, we have been little by little oppressed to do certain things in an American way.  In the future, like Antigua, Puerto Rico might suffer in the area of education.  Just like Kincaid explains, the funds if the island, both islands are being disproportionally distributed. Its a bit harsh how Kincaid said that the politicians that are not corrupted on the island are fools.

Puerto Rico is indeed like Antigua.  Beautiful nature, filled with beautiful people and the islands around are almost the same.  Is true that the level of poverty has increased in Antigua which is awful but, their not the only islands in that boat.  I know that with the tourism the precious island of Antigua and Barbuda attract each year, their economy will stay afloat and poverty level will for sure lower.
