Question

what appeal did Billy make to Mary ?
why?, from the poem Billy rabbit to Mary

Answer 1

Answer:

She recalls her childhood, and how her first sexual encounter was with Ronnie Harrison, Rabbit's former teammate. Throughout high school she was ceaselessly surprised by how ashamed the boys were of their genitalia, how much they seemed to yearn for a girl's approval, and how "ugly" they thought themselves to be. There is something sad but also sweetly nostalgic in her remembrances. Before long, however, her thoughts drift back to Rabbit and his smugness. She asks him if he thinks he will have to pay a price for his actions. He answers that, by leaving Janice, he discovered "if you have the guts to be yourself...other people'll pay the price."
