If Jamaica Kincaid Analysis

The comparison and contrast of the two poems ‘’Girl’’by Jamaica Kincaid and ‘’If’’ by Rudyard Kipling. The poems is talking about parents who are giving advice to their kids. The topic and the theme are the same in my opinion, but the genders of the two kids are different. The topic is the same for both poems. I believe that the topic is parents giving advice to their kids. In the poem ‘’Girl’’ it talks about a mom giving advice to her daughter about life and how to do stuff by herself. In the poem ‘’If’’ it talks about a dad giving advice to his son. In the poem ‘’If’’ it states in stanza 12 it says’’and treat those two impostors just the same.’’ Which is the dad giving advice to his son. In the poem “Girl’’ it says “Wash your cloths on Monday and put them on the stone heap”which is telling her to do something and giving advice.
The theme is if a parent giving good advice then the kid would use it in real life. This theme is the same for both because both of the parents were giving advice to their kids and I believe if the parent gives good advice then the kids we'll take it and use it in real life.In the poem ‘’If’’ it states the dad giving good advice to his son but ih the son doesn't like the advice or if the son doesn't know why then the son won't take the advice asme goes for the poem “Girl”is the daughter doesn't like the advice, then the daughter won't take the advice that the mother gives
