You get so used to seeing this subject from this point of view that to you‚ the subject becomes that point of view. Like when Adichie was little she read books about white characters who ate apples and drank ginger beer.

Anne Sexton’s poem titled “Her Kind” is a popular poem filled with powerful imagery‚ diction‚ and syntax. Her particular use of these elements in different ways contributes to the robotic and non-human tone of the poem. Her use of syntax in the poem is done in a very clever manner.
