Julie Makini's poem "Civilized Girl" describes a young woman who changes herself to fit Western and modern ideas. She learns new ways of acting, speaking, and looking, often moving away from her own culture. The poem shows the struggle between her traditional roots and the pressure to become "civilized." This can make her feel lost and disconnected from her cultural identity. It makes us wonder if becoming "civilized" is truly progress, or if it means losing her true self.
