MEN ARE

 

 

The title of this poem is men are. The reader's expectation is to read about descriptions of men. This poem was written by the Joeys.

This text is made up of seven lines. Every line start with the word " Men": it sounds so repetitive and the rythm of this song is fast.

The extract deals with what men are, and what are the behaivours that a man has to have to give evidence of his mascolinity.

The text conveys the idea od rude men, not sensible.

Right from the first line the reader can understand the irony of the following statements.

Without the first line, the poem would seem like a description of features that men really have or every one expect them to have.

But if you read the whole text you realize that all those adjectives are only stereotypes. It is not the truth.
