I have read through the story named “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. This was about a strict woman that has a daughter. She commanded her daughter everything she desired because she wanted her to be a good girl in the future. It reminded me when my dad wanted me to get all a in the class. He hoped me to get it, but I didn’t. He was a bit angry, but I told him that I have tried so hard and it was difficult, so I just get this score. Finally, he understood me. I didn’t understand when the story talks about “you mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won’t let near the bread?” I tried to think what the meaning is, but I couldn't so I asked my teacher the meaning. So now I figure out that the mother said like, do you want to be a girl that the bread seller doesn't want you to touch their bread? It means that if you are dirty, they won't let you touch their bread.
I think the mother loves her daughter so much. She commands a girl what she demand. She want her to be clean and many other good things, so when a girl grows up, she will be a perfect girl that men want to marry with and having an awesome future life. I predict her daughter will be contract on her mom, but she will do well on her mother’s demand.

I agree with you. I also think that her mother loves her daugther. but why do you think that her mother is too strict?
because sometimes, she should give her daughter a chance to do something, but she just commands her every single thing
