Prompt: Describe a meaningful family tradition unique to your culture and explain how it mirrors or contrasts with the cultural identity themes of expectations and roles in "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.

 A family tradition unique to my culture is Sunday dinners. This mirrors the expectation in "Girl" by the person in charge of cooking. It shows how important because not only are you cooking for yourself, you're cooking for others, so you have to be precise. It also mirrors because most of the expectations given to women are to make other people happy, and that's exactly what Sunday dinner does.

How does the novel’s ending shape your understanding of forgiveness across different cultures or families?

Given me and my significant other go through things, there has been plenty of times where we have both got into and apologized. Each time it feels as if we get stronger and stronger. All of these disagreements teach me something new lesson wise. The novel showed me that forgiving doesn't always end in getting backstabbed again and that sometimes its ok to let your guard down for a better outcome in the future.
