First Required Post on Kincaid's _My Brother_

As you read Jamaica Kincaid's My Brother, (pgs 50-120) what stood out for you most? Are there any passages that you found particularly intriguing or puzzling? What, if any, questions do you have so far about the book?

As the story goes on - do you feel more or less sympathy for the narrator, for the mother, and the brother? And why? (There is no right or wrong answer here. I want to know your personal opinion).

Introducing Snails...

Hello all...

My name is Snails (Milissa Yoon). I was born in San Francisco, CA and was raised in Oakland, CA. I am a Korean-American (1.5 generation). I moved to New York for about five years 12 years ago, then went to Massachusetts College of Art in Boston where I received a BFA in Studio for Inter-Related Media. That just means the core classes for my major were Lighting, Technical Theatre, etc. and you could choose your own major classes on top of the core...I took video-editing, woodworking, and computer design classes. I originally entered school as a painter. I am a graffiti artist and have been since 1989. I love music and am kind of a science geek. I am currently getting a second degree in Education teaching science to adolescents. I hope to incorporate art in the teaching of science. I already have a blog. It's called Snails' Blabbings in Blogs. What makes me notorious is that I had the pleasure of going to school with Peter Berdovsky.
