Barbie Dolls + Strange Fruit

Hey,

today we first spoke about how Barbie dolls were the symbols of how society shapes our values. Here is what we said:

Barbie is beautiful. She is the symbol for the perfect woman. She is gorgeous. That's why young girls identify to her. It's their role model. But this is imposed on by a society. Girls and Boys don't have the same tastes because they are taught by society not to have the same tastes.

Then we continued talking about the poem Strange Fruit. Here are the main points of the commentary that you will have to write:

The sounds ; the historical context ; the interpretation of words (metaphors) ; the contrasts (natural VS unnatural) and the five senses.

HW: get prepared for a vocabulary test + for the reading of the poem with a good accent (pronunciation and stress) and emotions.
