Vagina

1)The genre of this piece of literature is drama, meaning that Ensler wrote these monologues to be performed. Why do you think she wants vaginas to be publicly performed? Why does she want vaginas to be physically embodied? What effect does this have on the way we see and think of vaginas?
For one I Never met someone that is so comfortable taking about their naked body part. Almost no one i know actually calls it vagina. i really dont think she wants this to be performed, but rather she puts alot of emphasis in the word vagina. She has alot of similesand personification. "Here's the place to practice saying the word, because, as we know, the word is what propels us. "VAGINA". this quote is powerful enough to show the authors point of view without reading anymore of the book. Its more of a tell all about being more comfortable with saying and talking about their vagina. She gives desriptions and smells about it. even gives a full list of nicknames for the word.
