Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl"

It seems as though the plot of "Girl" is to teach a girl how to be a woman in an incredibly condensed time. It kinda seems like the mother thinks te daughter is going to be a hooker for a living if she doesn't do something about it as well. The mother just seems to be teaching the daughter how to be proper and not look like a total fool to their culture. My personal thoughts on this short story is that the author is giving away far too many of women's secrets. Bye readers!
