New York Day Women


  • My Mother
    • Repetition feels a lot like a poem
  • Dialogue is in bold 
  • In Brooklyn
  • Mother seems like she is a more of a naturalist
  • More street smart
    • Not a lot of education
  • Mo5her walks through the city
    • Gets a child from a mother who looks like she is going on a run
    • The mother might be a babysitter
  • Switches salt is heavier than shame to shame is heavier than salt
  • Doesn’t want her daughter to be ashamed
  • Older women that had to work
  • Daughter learns to appreciate her mother and what she does only after following her through the city
  • Mother and Daughter both are day women 
  • No mention of the father really, so a presumably single mother is a day woman in the U.S but not in Haiti
    • Women's rights and available jobs
  • Mother still doesn't have a high paying job
  • Daughter seems more grown in this one
  • More of a memory, not so much of a written work, not much like a story.
