Rebellious Poems

Two poems that are rebellious are "Homage to my hips" by Lucille Clifton, and "Cinderella" by Anne Sexton. In "Homage to my hips," at first you may not think it is very rebellious, but she says some things that make you realize that she is a little rebellious. For example, she says, "these hips don't like to be held back...they go where they want to go, they do what they want to do." People, who do what they want, when they want, are usually considered rebellious. She is saying that she is her own person, and does not let any one hold her back from doing what she wants to do.
When I started to read "Cinderella," I assumed that it was going to be like the original story. Anne Sexton uses the original idea, but puts her own twists in to it. Instead of a fairy god mother, she has a dove, when the prince goes to find whose foot the slipper fits, the sisters cut off a part of their foot; not the typical Cinderella as we know. This story is rebellious because Cinderella went to the ball for three days when she was not even allowed to go for one. The tone of the story is a little sarcastic which makes the story seem a little more rebellious.
