I love you more than life
I would give you a million kisses
And make you my Mrs.
We'd spend forever together
We'll never be apart
You'll always have my heart
Even if we depart
I love you sweetheart

Hyperbole - Tall Tale 1/17
My sister says she's a mermaid. She can swim a thousand miles in three seconds. She could hold her breath forever. She never stopped swimming. All she knew, and would ever know, is the endless depths of the ocean.

What is your impression of the author of this poem after exploring some of the allusions in her poem "Ain't I a Woman?"
My impression of the author is that, she is a very strong woman. She can work as hard and is as strong as a man so she should deserve some sort of praise. Other woman just sat back and looked 'pretty' while the men barked orders and she wasn't like that. She was couragious, strong and that should be admired by women everywhere.
