in this analysis I will be uncovering the similarities, and differences between the Caribbean stories of  Little Cog-Burt , and  Cotton Candy. Little Cog-Burt  By: Phyllis Stand Allfrey &  Cotton Candy  By: Dora Alonso. these two stories I think are very similar, and also very different in many ways. let me explain some reasons why they are similar. these Two main Characters in  Little Cog-Burt:  Little Cog-Burt, &  Cotton Candy: Lola.  these two main characters in the stories are viewed upon as undermined individuals through their society in the given time and place. in my personal Opinion, Little Cog-Burt  and Cotton Candy are both stories that are limited to a certain audience. this implies that the two stories are not for the every-day Joe to read for entertainment. One being Little Cog-Burt who has worms, and on the other hand we have Lola from Cotton candy. she is constantly being held back from the one thing she has wanted...

first, heres some info on Guadeloupe,  Guadeloupe is an overseas region of France comprised of a cluster of islands in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea. The island group is north of Dominica and south-east of Montserrat, forming the southern edge of the Leeward Islands. The islands in the archipelago were formed by volcanic activity; Grande Soufrière, which is the highest peak in the Lesser Antilles at 1467 m high, is still active and last erupted in 1976 prompting a mass evacuation.  There are two main islands making up the territory of Guadeloupe, Basse-Terre Island and Grande-Terre which are only separated by a thin strip of sea, a channel known as The Salt River. The separation is so small and travel between the two is so easy that the two islands are often considered one large island. Basse-Terre features rough volcanic terrain, while Grande-Terre features a gentler topography. A few smaller islands, Marie-Galante, La Désirade and Îles des Saintes make up ...

OK so the official language of Suriname is Dutch, however other languages and dialects can be found scattered throughout the region. This region is economically dependent on its natural resources such as bauxite, of which Suriname is the world’s biggest producer of this. This region is one of the Caribbean’s smallest regions, however it is considered to be the most diverse of them.  South Asians, descendants of contract laborers from   India , are the largest  ethnic group  in Suriname, making up more than one-fourth of the population. The second major ethnic group, accounting for about one-fifth of the population, is the Maroons (descendants of escaped slaves of African origin). Creoles, who in Suriname are people of mainly African descent,  constitute  between one-tenth and one-fifth of the population. The descendants of  Javanese  (people from the island of  Java   in Indonesia) contract laborers and people of mixed ...

Suriname, country located on the northern coast of South America. Suriname is one of the smallest countries in South America, yet its population is one of the most ethnically diverse in the region. Its economy is dependent on its extensive supply of natural resources, most notably bauxite, of which it is one of the top producers in the world. The southern four-fifths of the country is almost entirely covered with pristine tropical rainforest. Formerly known as Dutch Guiana, Suriname was a plantation colony of  the Netherlands that gained its independence on November 25, 1975. From 1980 to 1987 the country was governed by a succession of military regimes. A new civilian constitution was approved in 1987. Another military coup took place in 1990, but the country returned to civilian rule the following year. The capital,  Paramaribo , lies 9 miles (15 km) from the  Atlantic Ocean on the  Suriname River. Suriname’s major rivers flow northward into the Atlan...
