Need a response paper done for a poem; the required length is only a page & a half. Below are the two poems you need to read and all the instructions needed to work on this assignment. YOU ONLY NEED TO WRITE A PAPER ON ONE OF THE POEMS. I'm providing you with both so you can choose which one will be easier for you. I'll also attach two examples of a response paper to help give you an idea of what you need to do.

Below is the poems

Barbie Doll

This girlchild was born as usual and presented dolls that did pee-pee and miniature GE stoves and irons and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy. Then in the magic of puberty, a classmate said: You have a great big nose and fat legs. She was healthy, tested intelligent, possessed strong arms and back, abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity. She went to and fro apologizing. Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs. She was advised to play coy, exhorted to come on hearty, exercise, diet, smile and wheedle. Her good nature wore out like a fan belt. So she cut off her nose and her legs and offered them up. In the casket displayed on satin she lay with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on, a turned-up putty nose, dressed in a pink and white nightie. Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said. Consummation at last. To every woman a happy ending.

Morning Song

Love set you going like a fat gold watch.

The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry

Took its place among the elements.

Our voices echo, magnifying your arrival. New statue.

In a drafty museum, your nakedness

Shadows our safety. We stand round blankly as walls.

I’m no more your mother

Than the cloud that distills a mirror to reflect its own slow

Effacement at the wind’s hand.

All night your moth-breath

Flickers among the flat pink roses. I wake to listen:

A far sea moves in my ear.

One cry, and I stumble from bed, cow-heavy and floral

In my Victorian nightgown.

Your mouth opens clean as a cat’s. The window square

Whitens and swallows its dull stars. And now you try

Your handful of notes;

The clear vowels rise like balloons.

Below is the instructions

For the Response Papers #3 and #4, you should explicate and paraphrase a poem or parts of a poem we have come across in the sections assigned.

The word explication is derived from a Latin word that means ‘unfolding.’ When you explicate a text, you unfold its meaning in an essay, proceeding carefully to interpret it passage by passage, sometimes even line by line or word by word.

A good explication concentrates on details. An entire story or poem is usually too long to explicate completely—the explication would be far longer than the story or poem—so you will usually select a short passage or section that relates to the idea you are developing. Ideally, you concentrate on a central line (one stanza or one single sentence or even one single word). In some cases, you could concentrate on the meaning of a recurring word or phrase and explain its significance in the poem, probably by advancing different interpretations of the word or phrase.

For our purposes, you could just focus on a few selected lines as in the Poetry RP Sample #2. Or, if it is a short poem, you could explicate the entirety or most of the poem, as in Poetry RP Sample #1. If it is longer, you can focus on one or two, possibly three, stanzas. That means you should carefully interpret each line (each word or imagery) to arrive at an overall interpretation.
