Culture and Women In “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, and “How to date a browngirl, blackgirl, whitegirl or halfie” by Junot Diaz, both authors elaborate on culture, and how it shapes the outlook on women.

Jennifer runs a tight ship and work, and she is organized enough to prepare lists, so the work is done right. I believe it takes a strong woman with a good self-concept to be an administrative assistant, and take care of an entire family, but I also believe stress is taking a toll on Jennifer’s body and her mind. I find it hard commuting back and forth to work, so I understand Jennifer has severe frustrations. Maybe Jennifer believes she has to do everything for everyone for people to love her, because everyone probably can’t believe how much she can do in one day. They might even call her “Superwoman”, but that is just a television show, and not reality.

The word creole refers to the product or culture created from the process of hybridization. This mixing may occur in a cultural aspect such as the acceptance and adaptation of each other’s food, dress or language. The creole language for example was developed in the Caribbean’s early history when natives, slaves and indentures attempted to communicate with European colonizers. Creole is a form of dialect but is still considered informal or incorrect, whereas much value is placed on Standard English. Another form of creole may be miscegenation, which is the mixing of different racial groups that is marrying, cohabiting and having children with a partner outside of one’s race or ethnically defined group.
