Compare and contrast essay

"Girl" by Jamaica Kinkaid, "Lust" by Susan Minot

Compare and contrast the style and tone in these two stories. Discuss them in terms of the narrator, point of view, and character development. Who do you think is speaking (narrator) in each one? How are they alike? How are they different? What else do you find interesting or unique about these stories? Do these stories resonate with you at all? How? How not? 

Be sure to directly quote from the stories to support your ideas, (and document MLA style) as well as use the editor's notes (documented as well). In addition, find at least one interview given by each of the authors, and quote from the information you found on the internet (document correctly!)
