Poem:
My Dog Is a Plumber
My dog is a plumber, he must be a boy.
Although I must tell you his favorite toy
Is a little play stove with pans and with pots.
Which he really must like, 'cause he plays with it lots.
So perhaps he's a girl, which kind of makes sense,
Since he can't throw a ball and he can't climb a fence.
But neither can Dad, and i know he's a man,
And Mom is a woman, and she drives a van.
Maybe the problem is in trying to tell
Just what someone is by what he does well.
The poem " My Dog is a Plumber" by Dan Greenburg:
a - reflects a male dominated stereotype.
b - demonstrates the changing roles of men and women that was emerging in the 1970s and 1980s.
c - showes that despite the difference in the genders and the changes that were occurring, that there are still some of the traditioanl gender roles that make sense to the author.
d - showes that many people were opposed to the women's movement of the 1970s.
Plz help me OUT. Thank you!
