Cinderella
The poem Cinderella by Anne Sexton was a very funny poem. I found this poem very entertaining because of the way she was being sarcastic. She mimics the original fairy tale Cinderella. Anne's tone in this poem is very sarcastic because on the way she uses similes to compare Cinderella and on the way she uses the repetition "That Story". What I kind of didn't like about this poem is that it was more of a short story than an actual poem. But I would definitely recomand this poem to a friend just so that they can see the realisim in fairy tales and the different ideas.

All that I can say for this Cinderella story is interesting, but it drives me nuts. First of all how does she become sarcastic to write a poem that is interesting? However she wrote some different poems and ends the word "That Story" And then while I was reading the poem all I know about and I'm starting to ask myself as a rhetorical question, Is the dove is really important than the prince to her? Well anyway it follows the story of Cinderella and the prince, but its an interesting story, but confusing as hell.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, the poem "Cinderella" was funny and sarcastic. I feel that the use of sarcasm helps give the underlying message that there never really is a happy ending except for in fairytales. I also liked that Sexton gave the true feeling that marriage comes with its ups in downs but Cinderella would never experience that because she's nothing more than a display in a museum.
