I AM AN EMOTIONAL CREATURE

                                      

The title of this book “I Am An Emotional Creature” speaks innocence. Hearing it, gives the reader an emotional touch. This is book written by Eve Ensler about the teenage girls, who are trying to find their selves in the society. I think in some way this book comes from Vagina Monologue. Ensler’s purpose of writing these monologues, stories, and poetries is to tell the reader about these innocent girls, who go through a lot pain in their little lives. I think Vagina Monologue was stronger than Emotion creature. I think book is a basic book that talks about some of the things that are already known. As much as I have read this book, I didn’t really find any strong point that was not known. I think it’s a good book for teenage girls to read and get to know their selves.  I think what teenage girls learn in their teenage days is what they carry for life. So, learning good things and reality is probably the best way to save these teenage girls from evil. I think in this book the poem called “WHAT DON’T YOU LIKE ABOUT BEING A GIRL?” is a whole story of girls life. According to Ensler,

                                                                 “Girls can’t control anything 

                                                               Boys can do anything they want”.

I think these two lines say a lot. These lines tells the reader that girls are week, useless, can’t make any decision on their own, and not capable of or achieve the goals that they want to achieve and on the other side boys are capable of doing anything. This is what our society has been carrying from years and years. Girls always come after boys. In another poem called “DON’T”, Ensler wrote,

                                                                   “My father hates girls

                                                                    He says they used to bury them

                                                                    When they were born

                                                                    No value

                                                                    No personality”.

These lines are connected to so many countries, where girls only get hate, but nothing else. For instance, India is one of them. Some of the parts in India, girls are still dying before birth. Even though, it’s a law that you can’t go to the doctor and ask if you are having a girl or boy. People still do it by buying the doctor and killing the girl if they are having one. Now days, in the population of India, girls are not even half comparing to the boys. It’s hard to find a girl to marry the boy. A lot of the get no value in the household. They don’t have their own personality.

                 There are so many other issues that Ensler talks about in this book. For instance, girls are still being sold by the parents for money and they are considered garbage, and people rape them like they have no value and they have no right to speak up for their selves. I think this book is important to read for teenage girls, because they have their whole life waiting ahead of them. For adults, it’s probably not necessary, because I think most of the adults know these facts of life and some of them have already been through them. This book is an awareness for teenage girls. I think this book is a girl, whose saying that I’m a creature who has been through a lot and trying to find herself in this world. This book is also a girl’s question, which is asking that what I really am, how should I look beautiful, how should please others, and am I really a waste on earth. I think what Ensler is really trying to let the girls know is that this book is a identification of girls and it will help the girls to overcome the obstacle from being an emotional creature.
