Discussion 1. What are the four main types of images that the article discusses? (The author says there are three, but he includes a fourth.) Describe them using your own words and explain how they rely on colonial imagery/colonial attitudes.

Discussion 2. Some have described A Small Place as a counter-travel narrative: instead of describing the island as a tourist sees it (from the moment they step off the plane), which is what travel writing typically does, she describes what the tourist doesn't see, or how the native sees the tourist. Smith's article gives us an opportunity to see the kind of typical tourist perspective Kincaid might be responding to. Although Instagram didn't exist when Kincaid was writing, as Smith argues, there is a long history behind these motifs--for centuries they appeared in paintings and on postcards and in writing. Put the two texts together: draw a connection between Smith's analysis and a specific moment in Kincaid's argument in A Small Place. Use a specific example from each text.
