In the novel "Tetiyette" the author tells a story that takes place in Guadalupe. Through the story there is a mother who tried to set her daughter up with a man who she thinks is the right man for her. Every man the daughter comes in contract with she rejects them and tells her mother that she does not wanna be with him. In the village they live in there is a devil lurking upon the people of the living there. The devil is dressed in really nice clothes and  has all types of fancy gold on. The devil had an eye on Tetiyette and saw a chance to get with her. Tetiyette says yes, after he asked her out and  the devil and her ended up getting married. The mother and father tried to warn Tetiyette and tell her that he is the devil. The mother tells her to stab him with a pin and if he oozes blood then he is the devil. She does it and blood oozes out so she knows her mother is right but, she still decides to lie and say the blood flows out. The warning her mother gave her were right and after they got married the devil began to try to "eat her". The daughter cries out for help but her parents turn her back on her because of the warnings she was provided. The little brother of the family took charge and saved his sister from being swallowed.
The purpose for the author writing this is to show how women in Guadalupe are supposed to marry.
The target is attended for young woman and it is to show the unfair treatment and abuse can be given in a relationship. He conveys his message by showing this girl who is provided with three good men in front of her but instead she chooses the wrong man who is most likely to treat her the was treated because of the money and looks he displays. After realizing the mistake she made it was to late for help from her parents and the only person who could save her was someone who truly care for her which in this case is her little brother.
My personal opinion is that she was wrong for not listening to her parents who obviously saw the best for her but I do not agree with the way the way the parents turned their back on her. They left her to get swallowed and they should have understood that she was young and saw that she knew she had made the wrong choice. The influence of the devil on someone young can have a very big impact on their decisions. When Mama and Papa said "I have already warned her to beware" it just seems to harsh to treat your daughter when you hear for her cry of help.

Little Cog-burt vs Cotton Candy

In the two stories "Little Cog-burt" and "Cotton Candy", they shared some similar traits but differed in ways. The main similarity is that the conflict is upon two girls that live on an island in the Caribbean and both have a conflict within another character in their story. The story Little cog burt dealt with a women (Moria) coming to piece over the decision of letting dark children join in on the Christmas party. This is just from the way she was brought up and how things were done as a kid. Her husband thought it would be right to let all the kids join because it seemed like the patriotic thing to do and also everyone else was doing it as well. Moria couldn't wrap her mind around the thought of them doing it. Throughout the story she comes to conclusions and has a few discussions which helped her come together on the idea of the dark kids joining the party. The story the Cotton Candy could relate in similar way due to the girl (Lola) in that story wanting

For my research essay I am focusing my writing on how Dominica's agriculture can benefit the people on the island and bring in money for the economy. Dominica is an island with the nickname "The Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for the beautiful agriculture the island holds. Dominica has wide range of mountains and is contained of mostly forest. With so much agriculture the country has so many ways to take advantage of it. One of the best ways the country takes advantage of the agriculture is selling or trading products that comes naturally from within the island. The country makes million of dollars a year with the sell of all natural products sold. Their two best selling crops would be tobacco and bananas which are widely grown throughout the islands. That is not the only thing Dominica specializes in when its comes to their agriculture. Dominica also has very good tourism. With so many beautiful spots on the island there are a lot of tourist that like to walk the trails a
