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,

Golden gate park

In this poem by Ferlinghette he talks about a couple taking a stroll in the meadows in the golden gate park. in the beginning the story everything seems normal about the couple walking together. They are both enjoying the beautiful enviroment they are surrounded by the man is walking with his flute prob not a care in the world while the women is feeding the squrieslls with grapes. I feel like the couple is very close but yet very seperated. when they sat down on the grass and began to peel the oranges and how Ferlingheette said they didnt look at each other to me it didnt seem like they where mad at each other or maybe only one was mad and made the whole day a little akward. It could have been that they were just so close to each other and loved each other. Towards the end it kinda turnd my opinion on the story for example when the man took off his shirt and fell alseep without saying anything made me think a little that he was mad or he had a problem with the women. At the end when he said "execpt a cetian awful look of terrible depresion" made it quite obvious that the man was not making the woman happy and she was very upset with him. its impossible to know what was the reason was but the man seemed like he wasnt loseing sleep over it.
