Barbi Doll
In the poem barbi doll by an anonymous author its about a imperfect girl who is not happy with her looks. the author makes her out to be quit normal and that she does girl things like all the other ones. when she hits puberty she grows and matures and people start to notice that she has big nose and fat legs. i guess they were making fun of her for her looks. she was sick of how she was being treated so she killed herself. It seems a little far fetch that she cut her nose off i think and her legs i think thats ustthe way of the author saying she killed herself. I personally dont like he story because it was sad. i think its horrible when an individual kills themselves because of there looks or how there being treated,

Of course, we don't want to take the imagery too literally--think of conforming to a stereotype as a kind of self-sacrifice... this can, of course, invlove literal alterations to the body, but the imagery is meant to suggest something more than that, which is the reason for the exaggeration--this is not a literal death...
