What occupation is being discuses by the poem? It is prostitution. Where does the poem take place? In the Middle East? What is a burka? Is it the head piece or dress that the women in the Middle East wear? Thanks to occupation? Is this bad or good in reality?
Personal responce to the text:
The first thing that I notice about this poem is the distinct rhyming pattern. I believe that this is very important for the fluidity of the poem. Due to the rhyme scheme it almost makes readers gloss over harsh concepts in the meter of the voice. Is this on purpose? I am not sure. I feel like there is a major transition when they talk about the occupation now rather than two years ago. What had changed in those two years? Personly I find it very difficult to support such an act but when it comes down to the root of the situation the woman is simply teying to provide for her family.
Overall responce:
Overall I feel like this poem is introducing these imortant issues but very much brushing the serface of the matter. Your speaker mentions the government type but are we as readers supposed to blame the time period or the people or the situation? I feel as though that is open to interpretation. With a strong rhyme scheme and a detached tone due to no direct emotion with the content I would describe this as a very callusesd poem.
