In the book Plot I really liked the section called Dream Play on page 22.
It is mainly about Liv having a horrible dream about having what seems to be a miscarriage.
I really like the smplistic details that she gives and its kind of like she's speaking in code or she's dazed at the the thought and has no emotion over losing her baby. In the dream Erland runs to her and asks her where the baby is and she simly says "I haven't got it" and he goes on to say whats in tyour stomach then and she says "the bloods run out... out out and its takin the thing with it". that part made it seems as if she doesn't really care that she had a miscarriage and that she is going on with her life, but Erland if confused and really scared that she lost the baby.

Poem Analysis
The poem Dim Lady is a play off or a spoof of Shakespeare's sonnet 130. The poem says exactly what the sonnet says, but in a more modern way. The poem speaks of love but its kind of in a rap style with modern references. While the sonnet speaks in a more romantic tone.
The sonnet is speaking about how the woman he loves is not the the prettiest or best looking or basically in any way special, but he still loves her and wants to be with her. He states how her breath stinks and her hair isn't soft, but in spite of all that he still loves her.
The poem is a spoof of a sonnet but it has its own elements. Throughout the poem there are some lines that rhyme "I don't know any Marilyn Monroes. My ball and chain is plain from head to toe." I think that this makes the poem flow more and easy to read and understand. The references about her body parts in the poem are specific and understandable she says "if her mop were Slinky's dishwater Slinky's would grow on her noggin." This statement basically says how her hair is of wires. In the poem the way her features are described is a good use of imagery. Like "the garlic breeze" of her breath or hair of "dish water Slinky's".
