"Doesn't she look pretty? everyone said.
Consummation at last."
The diction used in this poem is important because it makes a distinction between an innocent poem about dolls and an intense message to society. The use of Cherry red lipstick instead of simply lipstick, is that it is associated to a specific kind of woman. Most women were lip sick, but only the most beautiful, perfect women would dare to where Cherry red. And, the diction to describe the girl is perfectly normal. She is intelligent. She is Strong in the arms and back. But despite these seemingly average attributes, even flattering attributes, all that she sees is the ways in witch she is different from the perfect girls. So, she had to change, "diet" and "exercise", but obviously this was too much for her, and sadly would rather cease to exist on this earth than exist with "a fat nose and thick thighs".
