Girl Commentary Girl is a short story that is written by Jamaica Kincaid. The whole story consists of one single line. The mother is having an argument with her daughter about how she should be meeting a girl's standards in a society.  "You are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won’t let near the bread" (Kincaid 1). This is an example, the mother uses to shows her daughter the consequences she would be facing if she becomes a "Slut". The girl was only able to interrupt twice during the whole conversation in order for her to defend herself. While I was reading this short story, I realized how these types arguments and issues separate mothers and their daughters. This is conveyed in the overall theme of mom/daughter relationship, and their sexual reputation.

  Sleeping is my favorite thing to do, but it’s not the same reason as everyone else. The reason why I love sleeping is that I can lucid dream. A lucid dream is when you are aware that you are dreaming, from that point on you can control your dream and do anything you want. In order to tell if you are dreaming you can check by closing your nose and if you can still breathing that means that you are dreaming. That’s because your real body in bed is not actually moving. Having the power to do anything makes me feel superior. When I am in a lucid dream I have the most amount of excitement, I can meet up with any celebrity, I can spawn everywhere. I can have conversations in dreams that would be impossible for me to have in real life. However, there are cons of lucid dreaming, it is possible to have sleep paralysis, having too much fun in a dream affects your mood in real life. Some people describe lucid dreaming as a drug except it doesn’t have major side effects.
