Girl by jamaica Kincaid

The Danger of a single story is common all over the world. Stereotypes are created for many things. Racism plays a major factor in stereotypical judgements, but the source, "Girl" shows me who really is most effected by the single story. The single story is that girls are to do all cooking, cleaning, caring for kids and husband and to be a stay-at-home mom. The one thing you know about the person is the one thing you say to others about that person. The single story. Instead of knowing the background of someone for example, if their family is poor you assume they are poor. If the girl had sexual activity with one person she is judged upon that and not who she really is or what really happened. Girls have so much expectations to keep up with and especially this girl in the source. Not only do you need to find a man, you need to make sure he likes you but not do anything that can create a name for yourself. You also can't lose that man creating another different name for yourself. On line 23 and 24 it says, "behave in the presence of men who don't know you very well, and this way they wont recognize immediately the slut I have warned you against becoming." This girl's expectations were to keep a man, treat a man right and somehow her single story is that she is a slut. Now when you think of this girl or describe her to someone the only thing you say is that she is a slut. This poor girl's single story is their stereotypical views for girls who had a boyfriend but doesn't anymore. The danger of the single story creates unwanted complications in someones life, just by judging on what others may think. Do you think single stories still take place? Where do they most commonly take place?
