Reflection: A Walk to the Jetty

In the last chapter of Annie John “A Walk to the Jetty” we see how Annie John has grown up and is about to leave to England to become a nurse. During this chapter we see how she is nervous to go but at the same time she is anxious to go. We see this with the mother/daughter relationship that she has. She loves her mother to death but her mother has always have treated her like a little girl and wanted her to do what is best for her but sometimes what she wanted for her daughter does not mean that was what Annie wanted like becoming a nurse. In summary “A Walk to the Jetty” is a chapter in which we see how Annie is all grown up making her own decisions and leaving behind all that she has come to know.
