    Most people expect that all poetry should be close to the same thing if we were to have the same theme, but in fact, although there are many similarities, there can also be many differences too. Upon comparison of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S Eliot and Afternoons and Coffee Spoons by Crash Test Dummies we see just this. These two poems share similarities in theme, and reference to time but do not have similar tones.…

    Write About Both Poems and Their Effect on You. Show How They Are Similar and How They Are Different

    Dawn revisited is a poem about the new ideas one could have in life and how it is easy to start again if things don’t go too well, as the poem starts with ‘imagine you wake up with a second chance’ which automatically introduces the topic to the reader. The poem is laid-out in a way that – especially ‘hawks his pretty wares’ - gives us an unimaginable image of the beauty of dawn, a description that would want people to manage their time in order to see it. The poet states ‘if you don’t look back the future never happens’ which shows us that one could only learn by making mistakes and that she perhaps learnt from experience and does not want people to miss out on the beauty of nature just like she might have done previously. She suggests that she enjoys waking up to the smell of biscuits, and by using ‘prodigal’, meaning using a large amount, she is also suggesting that she makes large amounts of them, in order for their to be a strong smell there has to be many of it. The joy of waking up for breakfast is stated as ‘eggs and sausages on the grill’ which shows us that breakfast is a highly valued meal in the poet’s family. ‘The whole sky is yours’ shows us that the poet strongly believes in the opportunities that one could have in life as the sky is vast and for it to belong to one person then they must accept the new opportunities they get. ‘Come on, shake a leg’ is a way of encouraging people to wake up and start a new day, and the reference of ‘eggs’ at the end of the novel reiterates the excitement that some people get to having breakfast as it is a meal that would provide fuel and energy for most of the morning.…

    Comparing Literature Poems

    "HAVISHAM" In the poem "Havisham", Carol Ann Duffy presents the subject of this poem as an old, embittered woman with "ropes on the back of her hands", while Browning presents the subject of his poem as a strong and determined but very jealous and embittered young woman. The poem is written in the first person in the form of a dramatic monologue, "The Laboratory" by Robert Browning is also written in this form. Miss Havisham is aware of her own stink - because she does not ever change her clothes or wash. She stays in bed and screams in denial. At other times she looks and asks herself "who did this" to her? She sometimes dreams almost tenderly or erotically of her lost lover, but when she wakes the hatred and anger return. Thinking of how she "stabbed at the wedding cake" she now wants to work out her revenge on the lover that betrayed her.…
