Summary Of Fat Girl By Megan Falley

199 Words1 Page

“Fat Girl” by Megan Falley is one of my top ten poems. At the beginning of the poem, she starts off with a tone that seems very ashamed, but then with the line “Fat girl’s certain soul food taste better than being thin feels.” it changes into more of an unabashed tone. This poem means a lot to me, as I have always struggled with my body image and weight. When I was younger, I was constantly teased and called fat. This poem makes me feel better as she goes through all of her struggles being fat, but then she turns it around and shows that she is better than her struggle. One of the lines that shows this is “Fat girl don’t hate her body.” Hating my body is something that I’ve been working on. I've hated my body for as long as I can remember.
