The poetry pack was very interesting to me . . .When these are put together in this grouping it really makes one realize the sexism going on in today's society. People just assume they know what the opposite sex is thinking and when they want something typically a man they think it is okay to just do what they please and go and get it. I am going to really talk about the poems "Sexism" and the children's rhyme.
"Sexism" by David Lehman
the first stanza talks about the happiest moment in a woman's life and how a woman is loving and excited to have her man home with her even though he is late because she is already in bed. He also has been drinking and she has no idea where he has been but she doesn't want to cause any fights at the moment. She just wants to feel him next to her in bed . . . which means he is now home.
The second stanza talks about a man and his happiest moment which is having sex with a woman and leaving her to head off home. In my mind this mean that they are really not happy with their life at this present time. When they find the real person they truely love they will have a life changing event which causes their best moment to change. Hopefully.
Children's Rhyme
Is talking about how boys and girls are different. It describes the different thing of girls and boys. The old saying's of boys are from mars and girls are from venus. Boys and Girls are so different in everything they do and just like the rhyme stating all of the different things they are.
