i am an emotional creature

In class when we did a presentation of “Things I heard about sex” I was surprised. Reading this piece prior to class I didn’t understand it. I was very confused as to what any of these lines had to do with each other. After putting the words into a presentation it all made some sense. I feel like you have to really read deeper in this story where as in “The Vagina Monologues” everything was written right out for you, you didn’t have to think about what Eve was trying to tell you she just bluntly said it.
                I feel as though Eve purposely wrote “I am an Emotional Creature” in a poem form or just an answer for, to make us think and to use our own interpretations as well as experiences to understand the book.  
                I feel as though this book relates to my life very well. I can see me and my best friends discussing some of these same topics in the novel. “Would you Rather (II)” describes me and my friends perfectly. In this piece you have one girl talking and asking questions and the other girl doesn’t want to play at all. I and my friends have actually done this before. I feel like this piece was added because it gives a sense of realism to the book. I feel that some of these pieces are just put in to make you relate to the book and realize a lot of it is very relatable too much of female society today.
