Reaction to "A Walk to the Jetty"


At first you may think Annie has no love whatsoever for her family or her country. When she wakes up she lets you know that she does not want to go to England, but she does not want to stay in Antigua. Trough the story Annie describes the day of her departure. It is a very interesting story divide by half. The first half of the story she show us cold feelings about her leaving her family and Antigua. The second half of the story she is feeling more sadness as she starts to see the buildings and the people she is leaving behind. I really liked this story because it shows the change of mind of individual as time passes. I think that is usual that Annie feels a bit sad at the end, but she showed it by holding her parents’ hands tightly. I firmly believe that she wanted to hear her dad saying he loves her, but she never expresses this directly.
