Small place

Potato Creek, Indiana. A small place known for great places to camp and spend time with loved ones, we found it to be a great place to venture to for the weekend. Camping was exhilarating and as all children do we find adventure and a sense of youthful childishness in all things, even more primitive activities. Fishing through the days, and warming beside the fire, playing card games, and eating food freshly cooked over an open campfire, we thought we had planned the perfect small and even more cost effective

Beside me my brothers sit and eat their own hotdogs, the seats across the aisle remain empty much like most of the airport. The time comes to board the plane, the small space is filled and we take off shortly after. Looking out the window all you can see is the dark of night and the lights coming from the island.

In Jamaica Kincaid essay “On Seeing England for the First Time” conveys the contradiction of a young Antiguan women’s bitterness in her perspectives of learning about England versus exactly experiencing England.

In the given excerpt, one sees Kincaid finds change difficult to cope with. In the past whenever Kincaid hoped for change, she imagined she would “like it very much” (line 10).
