All-American_Girl

All-American Girl All-American Girl All-American Girl the title of Robin Becker’s book of poems suggests her view of what an American girl is. Becker shows through her poems that an American girl doesn’t have to be what society would call an American girl. She instead has a view of what an American girl is based on her life. She uses religion, culture, and human nature of society in most of her poems to demonstrate what an American girl is to her. Becker uses the titles of the poems as the setting, and sometimes the theme for her poems. Some of her titles are everyday events or activities. The style of doing this is very unique way to interpret an All-American girl. She controls the tone by the style she lays her poems in too. She either makes it smooth as satin or rough as sandpaper. Using different techniques causes the reader to flow through the poem, or stumble along having pauses to find your place. These ways are all very good put together for the reader to feel, and understand Becker’s views. Becker’s first poem “Shopping” is one of the everyday events, she takes this everyday event and makes her feelings and views expressed. girl, all-american, poem, american, poems, religion, style, something, different, becker, sentence, reader, can’t, about, woman, view, takes, perspective, out, life, example, everyday, escape, each, young, word, views, very, tone, titles, through, society, shopping, sexual, seem, relate
