Harley-Davidson Case study

It was through his actions that he became ill , and he was unwilling , and perhaps unable , to give up the things that made him even sicker (Kincaid , 1997 . By taking charge of his life and living in a healthier manner , he could have possibly lived a much longer , productive life . Instead , he could not stand to lose the things that made him who he was , such as irresponsible sex with men and women drugs , and drink (Kincaid , 1997 . In the end , his being no more than what he wanted to be led to

death for himself , and loss for his family . Kincaid 's record of life and death in her homeland is a sad , poignant memoir of a girl who overcame her losses and moved on with her life , and a boy who sunk into the mire around him and never attempted to be any better than a tramp . Through writing , Kincaid managed to not become stuck in the same mire . She made sure that her destiny was not going to be what her mother had proclaimed it would be , and she had a healthy life and a beautiful family to show for it . The price for this , however was the loss of her family in Antigua . Kincaid seems to have come to terms with this loss through the mode of her writing , and even though she was unable to stay out of the pull of her brother 's illness and death , she still came out whole on the other side . She made her destiny and writing keeps her within it
