Emotion in Ensler's "I'm an Emotional Creature"

     The minute I read the first entry of Ensler's book I knew it was going to be about young girls and their problems.  To maybe talk about the problems that occur early in life that could trigger the problems woman have later in life that are reflected in "The Vagina Monologues" by Ensler.  I feel like she is trying to get the younger generation to a point where maybe the "Vagina Monologues" won't really be needed.  If they conquer there issues of self-esteem, society, and life now that maybe they won't have these issues that seem to carry into adulthood.  I could relate to a lot of what Ensler is conveying in these stories.  When I was in high school I had lived through many of the emotions and still having a cousin and a sister in that age group it made me think of them and maybe what there emotions are and if they could relate to this book even more than I could.  The emotions are stated clearly and bluntly.  The author uses direct almost a yelling tone in her writing to convey the flow of emotions that these young girls really want to express.  I noticed that Ensler also played around with the punctuation in this book.  She left out all punctuation in some and made long run on sentences in others.  I think this is the girl speaking with out taking breaths.  I feel as if she is trying to convey that this girl feels so strongly about this particular subject that she is talking as if she is letting all her emotions out.  I think its also telling girls that it is ok to vent how they feel it is a confusing time.   She also used long pauses to emphasis the point she was trying to make.  She also repeated sentences and themes and made it more poetic so it was clear to who ever was reading these stories what the main point the author wanted them to take out of them. Whether it be to an adult, a friend, family, or in a journal it's good to let these feelings out because they are not the only ones.  I liked the little facts in between the stories.  The facts are for example, the amount of pregnancies of teen girls a year, sex trafficking, and everyday life and what every girl goes through.  I think it is important that girls know that these things do happen to educate them if they ever have an encounter with any of these topics.  Whether it be in real life, school, or in a movie its good to know the whole story behind a lot of these facts.
