Unnatural Speech
I felt confused by the poem. I could not tell what the roles of the characters were.

It is easy for me, a white woman, to forget the struggles of women of color. I believe it is the acknowledgement of personal narratives that drive emotional reaction. The personal narratives and the reader's emotional reaction begin on a the basic, private level and then radiate outwards. This is what drives theory.
Feminist theories ask questions:
ontology, epistemology, and politics
ontology-feelings of being in reality
ontogony- fetal development, trace evolutionary change of human beings
epistemology-study of knowledge
politics-clash of ideology; power and domination
