Although the teen brain differs from children and adults dramatically, Barbara Strauch makes the difficult times of the lives of everyone involved simpler and brings it to a more positive light.…

In Gwen Harwood 's poetry, the changes in an individual 's perspective and attitudes towards situations, surroundings and, therefore transformations in themselves, are brought on by external influences, usually in the form of a person or an event.

An example of the later case would be Nightfall, the second section of Father and Child, where the persona refers to her forty years of life causing "maturation". For the most part these changes are not narrated directly but are represented by using dynamic language techniques to illustrate constant change in the universe of the poem.…
