Advertisements everywhere, i haven’t time to think1
without some local merchant selling me the kitchen sink. 2

all along my childhood, it’s been exceedingly bad— 3
from my diapers to my schoolbooks, there’s always been an ad. 4

every show is brought to me by business courtesy; 5
every team i’ve been on has been sponsored for a fee. 6

doesn’t matter what it is, if i’m their demographic, 7
they add marshmallows! ‘til i think that i just have to have it. 8

i sing jingles when i read – their persistence is extreme! 9
i find ignoring messages to be a rough routine. 10

from getting up to lying down, the advertisements play, 11
but i’ve learned to lower volume and just to walk away. 12

future kids will probably find that our great civilization13
was easily told that they’d be sold the world’s next great sensation, 14

so kids like me have got to see that most ads are promotion15
designed to throw a lasso over human beings’ emotion, 16

but happiness cannot be found in catalogs or stores, 17
and the pleasure that they’re marketing may already be yours. 18

which best describes the tone of the speaker of this poem?
a) joyous and happy

c) complaining and critical
d) miserable and despairing

Complaining and Critical

Explanation:

The author writes how he/she never has time for herself, because she always sees ads upon ads. She writes that everything she has ever known is an ad- from the persistence to buy a specific product, to the curiosity of picking up the phone and answering the scam. She is complaining of all the ads shaping society, and is critical because she sees so many ads everywhere, all the time. Ads sent to her phone, people coming up to her and asking her to buy stuff, etc. So yes, she is complaining and critical.
