Rema!His name is Ewan. I love him, and he’s not even born yet.
I went to school with both parents, who were in the theatre program with me. The dad was a theatre and writing/literature double major as I was [am].
I decided to create a book of Caribbean stories to give to the child, which I am writing by hand.
The problem is that a great deal of the stories I’m finding are written in Patois, which is a local language similar to Pidgin. Similar, but different. I totally understand the language, but I know the parents wont. And there is so much that is going to be lost because I’m writing my country’s stories in a voice that isn’t theirs.
But, I want the child to read and understand a part of my culture.
Not to mention the sentence structures are atrocious.
But, it’s going to be good. And I’m excited to be finished and have the child have something that can connect us.
