Barbie Doll

Personally, I liked this poem because it portrays today's society very well. Girls have so much pressure that is put on them when it comes to looks and actions. Younger girls who are going through their "awkward" stage always feel as if everybody's eyes are upon them. Our society today is very sad. Girls get terrible examples of how to look or act through magazines, television, the Internet, and music. Public sources say what is "cool" and what isn't. Teenage girls really take these examples to heart.I am just glad that Marge Piercy wasn't afraid to just tell it like it is when it comes to these societal problems. Nobody is perfect, but every girl strives to be in their teenage years.
