Thomlinson English 1213 Comp II March 26‚ 2013 How Do We Compare and Contrast Poems? When we compare and contrast a poem‚ we need to consider the ethos‚ pathos‚ and logos of each.

In “Magic of Love” by Helen Farries we get the lighter side of love‚ the happy‚ giddy feeling that nothing can go wrong as long as you have love. We can argue that although this is probably one persons’

The argument of abortion has been raging since the Supreme Court case‚ Roe vs. Wade‚ in 1973. This court case has divided the country into two factions: pro-choice and pro-life.
