Seems like a very jumbled poem, what literary devices are really being used and how do they convey the authors intended message? Where is the author now? Many things seem like things people make fun of but does she really miss them?
Personal response to the text:
I know when I drive by next to a car and they have their music up too high I don't often associate fondness with the memory. It is very interesting to me that the speaker seems to truly miss these things. I can understand this by her use of repetition of the like "I miss it's..." . I feel like this poem is in a way fun to read. I feel this because of the alliteration. "Stuttering shopaholic" "fetus floating" . Although the topics are not always light the speaker creates a lighter tone by using this device.
Overall thoughts of the text:
I feel as though the text presented her sadness in a way that can reflect joy. Her use of alliteration showed that these memories and events are funny and meaningful to her now that she is not only away from the language but as she is away from the culture of American life.
