Subject: Reading and Writing

This girlchild was born as usual

and presented dolls that did pee-pee

and miniature GE stoves and irons

and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy.

Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said:

You have a great big nose and fat legs.

She was healthy, tested intelligent,

possessed strong arms and back,

abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity.

She went to and from apologizing.

Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs.

She was advised to play coy,

exhorted to come on hearty,

exercise, diet, smile and wheedle.

Her good nature wore out

like a fan belt.

So, she cut off her nose and her legs

and offered them up.

In the casket displayed on satin she lay

with the undertaker’s cosmetics painted on,

a turned-up putty nose,

dressed in a pink and white nightie.

Doesn’t she look pretty? everyone said.

Consummation at last.

To every woman a happy ending

Write out a potential theme for this poem. Which lines from the poem support this theme? Give two to three specific quotations

I have a problem with getting my message clearly across. While giving my speech I like to scan the room to read the audience. I zero in on the people who seem uninterested in what I have to say and start to panic. Instead of focusing on giving my speech my brain starts going over every possible reason they might not be interested. Did I offend them? Am I not using the right words? I never stop to consider maybe they just aren't as passionate about the topic as I am. In doing so I seem distracted and uninterested in my own speech. So to the audience, they see that my mind is elsewhere, and start questioning the authenticity of my speech. I start looking at my feet instead of the audience, I stumble over my words, and use filler words like "um" and the structure of my speech begins to crumble. The passion and genuineness of my speech is no longer there and my audience is no longer captivated. The positive social ques like smiling faces and head nods turn to blank uninterested stares and its hard to come back from that. My biggest weakness is learning how to come back from that. How do stay out of your own head and end your speech on the same note you began?

IN FIVE LINES, I WOULD YOU COMMENT ON THIS?
