What is the essay The Tourist by Jamaica Kincaid about?

Answer:
A tourist, Kincaid says, is an ugly person in the eyes of the native. Kincaid reveals a number of reasons for that. A tourist is despised firstly for her spending habit. When a tourist makes a visit to a certain place, he is willing to sped a considerable amount of money and for that reason, the native of that place consider her and extravagant and wayward person.



Secondly, the native do not like the way a tourist speaks for she has an accent, they do not like the way she eats because, no matter whether the tourist eats the way she used to eat or the way the natives do, in either ways, she looks funny.
A tourist is never looked at with pleasure; he is a matter of malice, hatred and jealousy for the natives.



Verily, the state of a tourist being an ugly person is vividly and correctly displayed and described in the essay.
