It's About The Growing Pains of Adolescence: Jamaica Kincaid's "Annie John"

Between adolescence and adulthood lies a chasm, the death of the self as we and others identify us. Through this developmental trauma comes understanding and awareness to the likes that shifts what we see in this world, and redefines the limitations that stop us from reaching out for more. Annie John asks us to consider a young girl's place in her home, beside her mom, as time works its way into their relationship and changes her life forever. Join us on this journey of self-discovery as we find ourselves caught up in an all-too-familiar storm. Buckle up! BYYEEE!!!!
