Prompt:
Even though Kara was born in Canada, because of her immediate family, and friends, she still has extremely close ties to Jamaica. With the compilation of closely-related short stories in Frying Plantain, we witness Kara, during formidable years, grappling with the idea of fitting in, yet still trying to figure out her own identity. Her family is from a country that was recently released from its colonized British roots. Regardless of Jamaicas relatively recent independence, before Kara is born, her family immigrates to Canada. Her family settles in an area that is a predominately Jamaican part of Toronto, but Karas mother choses to have her daughter go to predominately white schools, in a different part of town. In Frying Plantain, is Kara assimilating to the majority culture, or she is acculturating her Jamaican culture to her Canadian way of life? Who and/or what is influencing her decision?
