"Aunt Jennifer's Tigers" and "Barbie Doll" both feature characters (Aunt Jennifer and the girl) who are burdened by the expectations of others and society at large. There is much imagery and metaphor in both of these poems; we don't have to look past the titles to see that. The structures of these poems are very progressive as they lead to harsh conclusions...and thus themes.

For both of these poems, analyze the development of the poems from beginning to end. For each poem, explain the use of at least 3 poetic conventions (terms in the poetry terms list) the poets employ to convey their themes, which means you should begin by asserting a theme in your response and then show in your analysis how it develops and why the poets use conventions in the process
