After reading the story "Girl", I honestly thought she was thinking to herself. I thought she was constantly trying to remind herself of what type of person society wanted her to be. Almost like she was drilling this in her head or in other words, beating herself up about being a lady. I felt like this was a first person narration but that she was referring to herself mostly in the third person by using words such as, "you." I believe this because the setting almost seems like a negative and stressed environment and that this could lead to possible mental or emotional problems that would lead some one to think like this.

So, just to clarify, the narration is first person but the person (the girl) is restating what someone else said, which makes her say "you" meaning herself. That's not much clearer, is it? Still, you seem to have grasped it.
