        <description><![CDATA[No, I don't believe that, but I absolutely see why Annie would make this claim.&#160; This claim refers to the idea that Africans would have acted differently if they had been in a position of superior power when they encountered Europeans. If they (the Africans) had been technologically superior, and the Europeans in a state they saw as savage, Annie's saying that they would have been kinder, fairer, and in all ways better towards the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Kincaid has created a wonderful regional story in the tale of this young protagonist.  However, beyond that, she provides readers with an in-depth look a typical teenage girl looking for her identity.  Once she hits puberty, Annie seeks independence.  She rebels, challenging her mother and her mother's rules, and trying to identify who she is and what her own priorities are.  Annie's stealing is an attempt to do this.  Her interactions...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Annie John is a bildungsroman, a coming of age story.  The narrator, Annie, is an adult who is explaining how she established her own identity.  As all children do, the child Annie hit a point when she was testing the control she had over other people.  Her desire to make Sonia suffer is a desire to test her own abilities to control the emotions of others.  Annie doesn't do because she wants Sonia to hurt; she does it because she is trying...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Like many young people, Annie becomes obsessed with what she does not understand.  She sneaks off to funerals to try to understand death and why it has to happen.  The death of the humpbacked girl fascinates her because it was a girl in her own school.  She has not considered mortality before, and especially not the mortality of people she knows.  She is eager to both comprehend and challenge this truth.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Chapter 1, Annie identifies herself through her mother.  She sees the world through her mother's eyes and sees herself as the center of her mother's world.  Therefore, she feels that Sonia will have no guidance in the world without a mother.  How will Sonia learn to grow into a proper young lady and adult woman without the guidance of a mother?  Of course, this is just the beginning.  Kincaid establishes Annie's youthful impression of...]]></description>
