well i screams ya little green pervert an i hitsm with my mop.This poem cracked me up. This is so much cooler than the original Frog and Princess story; I can relate so much more to this fiesty, independent girl than I can to a perfectly pleasant princess (how's that for alliteration?). The tone Hazel presents through her monologue is cynical. When the frog says she can become a princess, she says, "me a princess" (line 13) in a tone of disbelief. She even repeats this rhetorical question (there is no punctuation suggesting that it is a question; I just inferred from the tone) at the end of the poem in lines 25-26. She has this pessimistic attitude towards what the frog says. She does not believe she could ever be great. I feel like she thinks everyone is going to hurt her or do her wrong, so she pushes them away-or in this case, flushes them down the toilet- before they can.
Until Next Time,
Alysse
