Poem Analysis: The Mother

In this poem “The Mother” it was this mother that had many abortions. This speaker was having an emotional breakdown. For example, “I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed children” (Brooks 1940). When reading ‘’The Mother’’ the speaker talked about her and focused on the children she aborted. But the speaker never mentioned a father. So, after realizing she did not mention a father this question came to an understanding. Why do people have different emotional and physical feelings after abortions?

But the point of view of women only thought that abortions are dealing with women and not men. There is where the argument comes in at. The article about the other point of view about the men mentioned that men are excluded when they really should not be. The point of view of ‘’ The Effects of Abortion on men’’ were the best argument, because it talked about both withdrawals of men, women, and the comparison of all the withdrawals. That article had much strength and could really persuade someone that is what the other point of view did not have much of. ‘’The Effects of Abortion’’ had weakness because they only focused on the women and not men. But it was a good point of view if someone wanted to know about the effects of women after abortion. Both point of views helped in
