We were told to get that book. it really does help so you should read it. if you want an essay on plath you should go thru the BOS website they have a few really goood ones to read especially the exemplar ones

what did you think about the applicant?
And how did you see Lady Lazarus? it reminded be of a theatre production, a theatrical show, her body put on display for everyone to see, as she thinks she's a miracle. Because shes died but come back - and the comparison to the jews (her) and the naxis (her 'daddy') was pathetic how could someone get to the point where they can compare their own suffering to the suffering and deaths of millions of people?

hehhe the applicant was alrite similar to her other poems dealing with male superiority i guess....Daddy was probably the most easiest poem for me to deconstruct it was pretty good too! I read a little bit on her autobiography and did u know that line 'Big grey toe' in her poem 'daddy' she was actually refering to how her father died... apparently he had sum sort of cancer which started on his toe! Pretty interesting aye i guess thats why you can call her work autobigraphical......
Lady Lazarus is another one which i like!...I read up a lot on Lazarus jesus's friend heheh and yeah that was interesting too how he was brought back to life! Its suppose to be ironic cause she brings her self back to life without the help of jesus!
...hmmm i think She probably onli used the holocaust as a comparrison to her own opression to make the readers empathise with her..even though many critics reckon its wrong ..poetry tends to be intense when someone has serious problems!
