The Three Stooges represents consistently making bad decisions while making a mess out of everything. The Little Rascals represents a group of mischievous troublemakers. Speed

may backfire and hurt us. It’s a fear that comes naturally because we all know that we are too trivial to gain control over the world. In the poem “The Story”‚ Karen Conelly examined the confrontation between insignificance and vastness and conveyed the idea that human’s deepest fear is the fear of being consumed by things he does voluntarily. The poem is highly metaphorical and symbolic. The story‚ on the surface‚ really is about swimming in the ocean alone. However‚ as we readers examine further

more then any other poem in the book so far. “Barbie Doll” is connected with me as a male because it is what all people go through‚ not just women like it states in the poem. But all men and women have a stereotype of being the perfect person. You have to have a tan; you have to have the perfect chiseled abs.
