Jamaica Kincaid's Quote Reflections

The quote I am going to explain is by Jamaica Kincaid.  The quote is: “Every native would like to find a way out, every native would like a rest, every native would like a tour. But some natives—most natives in the world—cannot go anywhere. They are too poor. They are too poor to go anywhere. They are too poor to escape the reality of their lives; and they are too poor to live properly in the place they live, which is the very place you, the tourist, want to go—so when the natives see you, the tourist, they envy you, they envy your ability to leave your own banality and boredom, they envy your ability to turn their own banality and boredom into a source of pleasure for yourself.”  For most people, this can be applied in their lives.  But I lived in Puerto Rico, a perfect vacation island.  This, for the regular civilians in the island can experiences an inner journey of their country, my country.  The reason that most of  the civilians of the island that can’t experience of the inner tourism is because they might have a busy live, not necessarily because they are poor.  I considered that Puerto Ricans are native and tourist at the same time because this is one of the best vacation island in the whole Caribbean.  In other words, Jamaica Kincaid’s hypothesis can be applied for certain places but not all of them.  In this case, my beautiful island, Puerto Rico her hypothesis failed.
