Answer:

In her poem Spelling, Margaret Atwood writes, 'A word after a word after a word is power!' Do you agree with this statement? Why?

Explanation:

pelling by Margaret Atwood

As with many of Atwood’s poems, Spelling begins with an innocent act—a child playing with the plastic letters of the alphabet. This image is later transmuted to the woman oppressed who must be made to realize that she is the most important person in her life. This poem appears in “True Stories”, where the form and content of writing makes the very title a metaphor. The narrator focuses on her motherhood as she gazes at the childish game of “my daughter”. Yet, before the verse ends, a different dimension is placed on the child.
