Barbie Doll by Marge Percy describes how women in today’s society try to live up to being the perfect woman, that i will never understand why a women will go though all the pain of beauty. People in this society want women to who looks great, cooks, cleans, and is subservient, Kind of like Barbie to Ken. Why would you want to live in a world with woman with Blond hair, small waist, big boobs…most women in society doesn’t live up to these standards—with the exception of Pamela Anderson or Beyounce knowlence. I believe a woman should look and feel great about them not what they see in a magazine or billboard. A woman should not kill themselves with trying to look thin and beautiful; God did put people on this earth to play with them by transforming to the unnatural. The title is perfect for the poem because it is about a woman’s quest to become perfect like a Barbie doll. Her quest kills her, but ultimately she gets her wish. Society has a way of placing unrealistic expectations on women.

i like how you put it in the end: "The title is perfect for the poem because it is about a woman’s quest to become perfect like a Barbie doll. Her quest kills her, but ultimately she gets her wish." well said because its true. women have to struggle to live up to society, killing our true selves in the process.
