My wife and I were discussing this poem and she showed me this picture from one of her favorite photographers, Meg Gaiger. Although graphic, this picture depicts Piercy's poem "Barbie Doll" perfectly.

The simplicity of this poem read like a guide to me. I felt it did a better job of explaining poetry than some websites out there. The line "all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it" was how I felt poetry was supposed to be analyzed.

This story reminded me of the Tom Waits song "What's He Building in There." The man described in the song also has poison's in his house and is very private about his affairs. Fortunately in "A Rose for Emily" we find out what has been going on in the house.

This story made me realize that there is much entertainment in the world. Rather than watching a reality TV series in our homes we could experience these realities in person. The experiences Miss Brill has are something that TV could not provide.

Since this story revolves around the stereotyping of Native Americans, I chose to post an example of a Google search which depicts the continued use of these stereotypes.

The entire time I was reading this story I was wondering why Austen wasn't listening to the old mans warnings. Then I realized he was blinded by love.
