Paper Topic

For my paper, I'm going to be writing on Marge Piercy's poem "Barbie Doll." I've written a little about this poem before, and I'm going to use that preliminary piece as a springboard to create my paper. I'll mainly be analyzing the theme of the poem as a whole, as well as the specific ideas generated by each stanza and line. I'll also write about how the diction and individual concepts mentioned in the poem work together to inspire irony and empathy in the reader.
