My Brother

Rating:
Summary: take it to therapy
Review: OK I hate my mother as much as the next woman, but thankfully I didn't try to turn my whining into art by the use of the rather dubious device of repetition. Her mother didn't even seem that bad and if you take into account her generation and cultural back ground she was probably what we feminists call a 'good woman'. As for her relationship with her brother -same. Give it a rest, take it to therapy and get over it. Boring book.

Summary: Seeing my brother die.
Review: This book is written by Jamaica Kincaid.All though this book mainly focous on her brother Devon who is dieing of aids but it creates pictures to readers how she dealed with her family. mostly how she had so much problems with her. Her brother Devon a man with no self control over his own life. Devon is man who never seems to learn lessons from his mistakes. after being trated with AZT for having AIDS and being releasd from the Hospital he goes back to his regular act.The action that had already put him in treatment for AIDS. Jamaica aiso mentions her childhood with her mother. And how insensetive her mother was torwards her children. She aiso compares her life now and how it was then with her mother. And she broke the cyicle of being like her mother. This book is full of memories with different feelings. It's about life, happiiness and sadness that covers our daily life . I think from reading this book the main idea is that no matter how old we are and no matter how sad or happy memories had they are never forgetfull.

Summary: INTERESTING STYLE
Review: This is a poignant book, written much like a journal. It is lyrical prose mourning the loss of Kincaid's brother from AIDS, and in a greater sense the loss of her childhood stolen by a demanding mother, ill father, and half-brothers who drained the family provisions. My eyes were opened to abject proverty that I, as an American, know so little about. Antigua is so improverished the hospital is just a holding place for death. Only through Jamaica's efforts, is her brother afforded any medications. The story is poignant and expressive. Perhaps, because it reads like a mourning journal, I never felt comfortable reading it, and was relieved to complete this short novel. Not my favorite book, but worth reading, not the least reason being education.
