Repetition(Chapter2)

Prompt 2: Although I liked the beginning of the book, the second chapter confused me at times with a couple of minor details that perhaps may progress into greater significance. I do not know if this is Kincaid's style but she seems to repeat many words or phrases frequently in the same sentence. For example, her most used line is, "that day, the sun was in its usual place, up and above and in the middle of the sky," and she repeats this twice each time she says it. I encountered this phrase at least 5 times in the first two chapters and I started to question why the author chose to do this. I don't know if this has a deeper meaning or not and I wonder if she will continue to do this in later chapters and throughout the book.
