As you know, The book that I chose to read was called Mr. Potter. Jamaica Kincaid is the author of this book and I believe that she chose this to be the title simply because Mr. Potter is the main character in the novel. Jamaica Kincaid has always had very simple and original titles in most of the things that she writes so it is no surprise to me that this book was named after the main character. If I named this book, I would name it The Potter Life. The reason why I would name it The Potter Life is because I felt the presence of not only Mr. Potter throughout the book, but also the way his father, Nathaniel, and his mother, Elfrida raised him into the man that he became rather quickly. I felt that they were a big part of what Mr. Potter did and I also would name it The Potter Life because his sister was the narrator so her presence was also felt constantly. Regardless of the title of the book I really enjoyed reading it as my independent reading book and it kept me intrigued the whole time unlike many other books.
