Identities

Identity is what defines us and describes as subjects or communities. Everything you do, say and think is part of your identity. It is a set of features of an individual or community. These features define and describes  the subject or the community against the rest. Jamaica Kincaid want the world to know the true identity of Antigua in his book. Antigua is a small island, but attracts tourists. Before, there was racism and traffic. Jamaica wants to remedy these perceptions, and what can be seen as the past affects the present.
  I think one of the most shocking things that Jamaica is the aspect of language because the government impose a new language and when you’re changing your language you’re changing their identity. She had no control over this and not realizing the government changed its language and today is the language she uses. Government changes her identity.
in her case I felt I had no identity, incomplete. as long as the government wants to implement things to communities without care about our identity. In a way I feel identified with Jamaica because like Antigua in Puerto Rico want to implement the language (English). A language I do not master a language that is not my language, a language that I do not like. After so many years with some established customs and habits you want to change who you are and how you are. These chapters can make people reflect on their identity. People know what they are, but you never know when you cease to be. Wise Jamaica who was born in Antigua, but did not imagine I could come to feel so lost as tourists without identity. Identity is something that the world doesn’t gives you, but if you Neglect the world can take it away.
