A Caribbean Childhood: A Child's Way Of Seeing The World Versus The Adult Viewpoint
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Deciphering Caribbean attributes within the literary world as they relate to the diverse perspectives of children and adults is not always a simple observation; rather, such depiction requires an inherent knowledge that can only be found in those who place both their hearts and souls into the work. Five authors in particular stand out in this field as successfully portraying the aspect of Caribbeanness and its relationship to a child's way of seeing the world within their writings: Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea; Maryse Conde's I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem; Caryl Phillips' Cambridge; Simone Schwarz-Bart's The Bridge of Beyond; and Aime Cesaire's Notebook of a Return to the Native Land. The authors clearly exemplify the fundamental aspects of childhood attitudes as compared to their adult counterparts, clearly illustrating how the world looks rosier to a child; as that child grows into adulthood, there develops an expectation for a greater fall. No additional sources cited.
