Today in English we started reading poems and today we read "The Barbie Doll" by Marge Piercy. This poem really disturbed me and started getting me think about the situation in this story and how this happens every day and it doesn't really emotionally bother me until i read this story. Especially the ending when it sates " Doesn't she look pretty? consumption at last. To every woman a happy ending" (836). I feel like what the speaker is doing here is mocking and basically slapping everyone in the face who caused the young girl so much pain. I also picture the quote in a very sarcastic tone.
Americans society today constantly dwells on being perfect and staying tin that standards or trends that may seem categorized for adults are now being presented to today's youth. Which is sadly disappointing because everyone is always talking about iner-bueaty and at the same time that exact person probably doesn't publicly express her true self. Today's youth is slowly corrupting And hardly anyone is noticing or is wanting to notice. But as usual most people feel like if they don't here about then it doesn't exists. And sadly it is happening and it does exist.
