I think I need to dig into the word choice of the poem later

what's that one book that was turned into a movie

something ending with wallpaper

MC is Charlie

The boy in the striped pajamas

perks of being a wallflower ?

anyway, it's like that. Although the author has a ton of things to say, at the same time she doesn't want to

so unwilling to put her voice out there that she forgot everything what made her unique

What I miss

even beyond death - if taken literally - she still didn't want to voice her opinions

I could see that in the story the narrator talks about a girl who doesn’t seem to tech out and is just waiting

And because she doesn’t reach out she’s just another random anon

tech out?

Reach fuck me

Poem

Uhm I’m tired and I need to do the analysis

I wonder what the 'hey nonny' is in reference to

You can just call it a reach around

I think it’s just idle talk

but she did write her opinions - she just didn't express herself vocally

Like something you say out of boredom when you’ve nothing else to say

pen like a baton

not really tho

this reminds me of hardcore depression / anxiety

what she wants to express are truly deep and personal but she doesn't know how to approach it

"best verb, right noun" also like perfectionism

she wants to get her words just right so bad that she put herself into a situation where she is never truly satisfied with what she thinks/writes/says

another thing with the skull - even when these thoughts / situations pass, she *is still* trying to find the right thing to say

maybe I'm misunderstanding the poem, but that what it seems like imo

like michael jackson and his nose

Poems are broad and I think the head of English is a statement of how we interpret poems for a theme to prove something in school

good point.

Maybe anon is a statement of feminism because in the first stanza duffy mentions jobs taken up by women

what about this perspective: all of the roles mentioned are generally what women fall into. Medical, mother, nun - or a nobody. All of these roles define women but without a certain title an argument could be made how lost the author feels without an identifier

she has no sense of purpose or meaning for life

hence her lack of articulating herself

And without a calling she takes what she loves and sees nothing. She might be an amazing writer, but it isn’t expected of her.

possibly?

I say roles in the sense of personality traits rather than duties dedicated to a person

like he is smart, or she is pretty

I feel roles are expectations, and these expectations are specific duties.
