 Prompt Response: In my family it is expected for the women to cook while the men work.This contrast in "Girl" by the daughter having to do chores for her family.A main thing would be fixing her fathers clothes.This is something that can not be argued with the parents.She was also being taught to be lady like.Acting in a opposite way would not be in the parents pefrenece.

Summary: We still focused on expectaions that happened in "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.

Refelction: There are many cultures that also have many expections in their family.This revolves round many places around the world.
