Poetry Packet

The songs and poems included in the poetry packet were about the difference between guys and girls.  Beyonce's song "If I Were a Boy" tells a story of how guys don't care about girls and take them for granted.  The two short poems have similar meanings. One tells about how a girl is naive and stupid for always forgiving the man and how the man is just using her for sex.  The little kid's poem tells how little girls and boys differ, by saying that girls are sweet and boys are always getting into things.  The John Michael Montgomery song "Sold" kind of contradicts this argument because it is about a guy that falls in love at first sight and how he would do anything to "make you mine all mine."  It just shows the differences between the way men and women think and act.
