Girl by Jamaica Kincaid

Benna is the word that I was interested. I didn't know the meaning but from the sentence, I predicted that Benna is kinds of song. The sen tense says "is it true that you sing benna in Sunday school!?"

I know the Jamaican song called reggae. It is rhythmic and beat music and I related reggae with benna. I used my backgraound knowledge to image the story.

I feel envious you because I do not have the sense that being able to predict unknow word from experience. I can imagine that Jamaica is coffee if I try to infer Jamaica.
