"Barbie Doll"

The poem Barbie Doll by Marge Piercy shows how societys image as "beautiful" effects young girls. Even though society puts an ideal image out there for young men, I highly believe that woman struggle with it more. If I were to re-write the poem through a mans perspective, I would base it more on being tall, dark, and handsome rather than super skinny with big boobs. I believe young men focus more on being muscular than skinny. I don't know any man who aspires to be skinny. Most are searching for a look that consists of muscules. If I were to name this poem based on a young man's experience, I would title it G.I. Joe. I think that would be the perfect name because young boys often want to be like him. He is a strong character portrayed as a hero which would be something young boys would want to be. I also think that boys would be able to understand the poem very well if it was written in a way they could easily understand and relate to.
