Girl by Jamaica

This story reminds me of the book that I saw on TV. That book is about one mother who would died when she gave the birth to her child. So she left the words to her child such as do this, do that, don't do that. therefore I think that the story of the "Girl"'s mother really cares about her child. I did not expect that I use the background knowledge because usually it is hard to make a connection to my experience and the story; however, but this time, I could make a connection immediately so that I could understand this story better. I think that the mother really loves her daugher. Also I think mother wants her daughter to be happy. In my guess, mother told the things that she could not do, so she wants her daughter to do instead of her.
