Barbie Doll

In the poem “Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy, it shows how girls feel the need to fit in with the role of the Barbie doll. The Barbie is thought to be beautiful, perfect and just the right size. In today’s society, girls feel that they should live up to society’s standards. Men also can be affected with the same high standards of today’s society. Men have always been thought as the hero, or the strong one with big muscles. My title of the poem would be the “Perfect Man”. Men are supposed to be good in sports, be the football star, not to show emotion. They are thought of as the handsome one, the good looking guy who is cool, popular and intelligent guy. As you can see men also have many pressures of being the perfect man. The images that I would use would be big muscles, gorgeous hair and nice body.
