Through the lens of Reader Response Criticism, I chose to analyze “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. I think this was a great text to use for this form of criticism because its relatability and question provoking nature. Looking through this stylistic lens made me develop questions, make assumptions, and create relationships with the characters to have a deeper sense of comprehension. This was actually the only form of criticism that I was familiar with before taking this class. I have used a form of this in a few other classes ti explain my reading habits and figure out what I do consistently when I read a new text. I learned a lot about myself as a reader during this process and I am glad we used this text.
