-Is used to contrast with the overly repeated word "ugly", that serves as a demonstration for a foreigner crossing into Native land blindly.

While it is commonly depicted as parts working together to achieve perfection, Kincaid understands that people will never truly achieve absolute agreement. She instead believes that once tourists become more sensitive and natives become more forgiving, people will become more sensitive to others and comprehend their point of view.

Gives it a much more negative meaning, at the start of the essay there is a focus on saying that tourists are ugly people

- By affiliating the word ugly with tourist, Kincaid emphasizes how disliked they are by the natives
- gives a negative connotation and makes you feel attacked for being a tourist
"an ugly thing, that is what you are when you become a tourist, an ugly, empty thing, a stupid thing, a piece of rubbish pausing here and there to gaze at this and taste that.."

- makes it seem like being a native is boring and uninteresting
- makes a native into someone that you should pity ("they are too poor to escape the reality of their lives")

Kincaid shows how everyone can feel out of place at points. In every locations there is always a native and a tourist.

Kincaid uses the word "ugly" about ten times throughout her piece, frequently directing it towards the reader. This constant drilling of the word into the reader's mind almost causes it to lose its meaning. Rather than meaning unattractive or gross, it is just hateful. Kincaid is not directly calling YOU unattractive, but rather stating her, and the natives hatred for you.

She redefines poor to be less related to economic status and more related to the lifestyle and availability of experiences
- "too poor to go anywhere"
- "a life of overwhelming and crushing banality and boredom and desperation and depression"
- "too poor to escape the reality of their lives"
- like a poverty of experiences and joy

Native
Repeats this word and redefined what it means. “”So when the natives see you, the tourist, they envy you, they envy your ability to leave your own banality and boredom...”

In the traditional sense, ugly is used to describe someone who isn't pretty based on societal standards, but in her essay Kincaid uses it more as a representation of being disrespectful towards a certain culture as a tourist or being sort of unaware of your differences. It can make the reader feel like she is talking to directly to them and make it more 'attacking' towards the audience.

Kincaid chooses to emphasize her point on perspective and show that every situation is what you make of it and the pleasure you seek to find. An indivual may be the center of their own world but they are not the center of the universe and their "banality and boredom" is merely based on an inability to search, to want for something more and break the patterns of consitency.

"They envy your ability to turn their
own banality and boredon into a source of pleasure for yourself."

Kincaid makes the point that no matter where you are, there is always a tourist and always a native within the same area. No matter what you do, something is always going to be foreign to you. Customs, accents, traditions, and looks are different for every place. Even if you think you know how somebody should look or how they should sound, until you experience it and learn it will always be foreign.

makes it into something more negative than the kind of neutral thing it was before
