Jamaica Kincaid Analysis

Going into this timed write my initial intention was to identify the assimilation that England performs on Antigua.I would have liked to usr more evidence from Kincaid's actual writings. and expose the influence England forces on Antigua. My thoughts for the y next timed write is to cleanly identify problem and correctly write without any fragments.
