"Barbie Doll"

"Barbie Doll" by Marge Piercy could be rewriten to make a more updated version such as "Bratz Doll". Young girls look up to Barbie dolls they want to have "turned-up putty noses" and small legs just like the Barbie dolls and not have "great big noses and fat legs" like the innocent girl in the poem. (991). The same thing goes for Bratz dolls, they have tiny waists and big lips, which makes the girls want to be just like the Bratz doll. However, this is not realistic because the size of the dolls is not a healthy size for little girls but because it is a well known model they want to be just like it. They don 't understand that isn't how all girls should look and that no one is going to have a perfect, so to say, body like the doll. Little girls think if they look like the Bratz doll they will be "happy" but it isn't always true because just like everyone says money doesn't buy happiness, neither will a body of a Bratz doll.
