It could be C or D but I believe it is C since the poem seems to bring across the idea that most people see women as skinny or thin and to have large legs or a large nose, she, by some is considered "off." That's just what I think.

Answer:

C. Anger about gender stereotyping.

Explanation:

Marge Piercy's "Barbie Doll" focuses on the predicament of a 'girl-child' and exemplifies a feminist tone. She critics the cultural stereotype of a perfect woman. She displays her anguish by suggesting the body image and patterns of behavior enforced by society as fatal. These deadly consequences include the girls killing themselves when they fail to meet the extensive unreasonable standards set up by society. <em>She argues that these norms mistreat the psyche of the woman and they prefer dying over attaining the perfect body. Thus, the poem is a commentary against gender stereotyping.</em>

This narrative engages the reader because it is such a change from the list that precedes it.

The reader moves from a list in lines 1-10 and then moves into the author's personal experience of tachycardia. This engages the reader because it is immediately interesting, and the reader wants to continue reading to find out how this attack connects to the larger theme of nature.

Furthermore, the language Oates uses features clear imagery -- we can easily imagine her lying there, on the ground. The effect is a powerful one and immediately interesting to the reader.
