Response about a poem read in class

One poem that i read in class was Photograph of the Girl. The first time i read this poem i thought she was homeless and pregnant becasue the way Sharon Olds described it sounded and i could've imagined that too. And she also just so happen to be homeless. Because sometimes when teenage girls are prgnant the parents don't approve and could kick them out of the house. But the thing i was wrong about was her being pregnant. I thought that she was pregnant because it said, 'Deep in her body the ovaries let out her first eggs.' But it just so happens that she got her well....Best Friend for the very first time. I realized that she was pregnant when it said, 'Hunger and puberty are taking her together.' This poem was very open and it had a lot of detail and I could've imagined exactly what the girl looked and probably felt like too.
