``Barbie Doll`` discusses the present day issues that females go through on a regular basis. Its about a lost girl who finds herself to be imperfect, the fact that other people (students) point out to what they feel are her flaws makes her feel less attractive. She obviously went to someone for comfort because it explained that
She was advised to play coy,
exhorted to come on hearty,
exercise, diet, smile and wheedle.
This is nothing new to any generation, dolls symbolize perfection and what society feels a female or male should look like to be considered perfect. Well in this poem we read about a female who then decides to cut off her ``so-called`` imperfections which are her nose and legs an eventually dies.
