Dorie Off to Atlanta: Precis

In the poem "Dorie Off to Atlanta," by Mark Halliday, the poet conveys an exciting message of finding "the one" using the literary device "point of view."  The point of view comes from a woman named Dorie, who sets an excited and almost persuading tone in the poem. Dorie conveys her message through this tone many times throughout the poem, but there are three examples that I would like to point out. The first example where she displays love is when Dorie  speaks about a woman named Marcie who is hesitant to see a guy saying, "from what you've said, Jason sounds different." This quote points out the deeper emotion that Dorie feels that the man named Jason is "different from other guys," and that Marcie should give him a chance. The second quote I would like to point out is when Dorie defends her case of finding "the one"  fro Marcie when she says, "this is a guy who understands, y'know?" She uses this in her defense of finding love because Dorie feels as if this man might actually be the one for Marcie. Lastly, Dorie uses her point of view in her point when she says, "if you don't give this guy like a serious chance, somebody else-y'know?" This shows how hard Dorie is trying to persuade Marcie to be with the guy and how he feels they would rule out together. By using point of view as his literary device, Halliday was able to convey his message of finding "the one"  perfectly.
