“A Walk to the Jetty” by Jamaica Kincaid

In “A Walk to the Jetty” the mother tells the narrator that the island will always be her home. Can you relate to this in some way will your childhood home always be your home, or do you think like the author Thomas Wolfe that “you can’t go home again”? In two sentences identify which statement you agree with and give a reason that supports your answer.

  1. I believe that our childhood home, like our home place will most defitnately be our home. This I believe because that it's the place in which we grew up in. A place that can remind us of what we been through even if it was both a negative or a positive circumstance.

  2. I think you can go back home because I moved faraway from my home and I know one day i'll go back. I wasn't born there but, I was raised there my whole childhood. It's not like she can't go back to visit. Just because se spent unpleseant memories there it was the past and now it's gone. She can go back when she is ready.
