I thought the article "On Seeing England for the First Time" by Jamaica Kincaid was a little boring but it had a good point to it. As a child, she grew up in a country that was influenced heavily by England. She had always seen pictures and used products from England but had never been there and hoped to go there. At the end of the story, she describes her experience visting England for the first time and is not impressed. She thought it was ugly and described many aspects as a jail sentence. That descpriction makes me not want to go to England. I think that everyone can relate to this story in some way because people look at pictures and want something or to go somewhere and finally get it and are dissappointed at what they actually wanted.
