Kincaid’s Annie John
Kincaid’s Annie John is often described as a coming-of-age novel. How does Annie develop (or not develop!) throughout the chapter ‘Columbus in Chains’? If development entails the movement from one viewpoint on the world toward another viewpoint, from what viewpoint does Annie develop (or not develop) away? How is Annie’s development (or lack thereof) situated within the larger context of 20th century Antigua?
