With Close reference to at least two poems, examine how the poets have

With cobblers last reference to at least two rimes, examine how the poets haveexplored the al-Qaida of parent-child separation.In your response you should deal with* The contexts of the poems.* The contrasts and similarities in the poets methods and approaches.* The use of language.* You personal answer to the poems including your preference.Many poems have been written on the basic theme of parent-childseparation. I have chosen to write about two poems. The first of theseis The striver go written by Frances E.W. harpist, written in themid 1800s. It explores the persuasion of a black slave mother having herson stolen from her. The second poem I will study is paseo Away byC. daytime Lewis. Both show the difficulties of Parent-Child separation. but The slave Mother is much more violent and disturbing asoppose to Walking Away where in that respect is no mention of violence at all.Frances E. W Harper wrote The buckle down Mother at a time when blackswere being severely disc riminated against. orderliness and American Law atthe time promoted slavery. She was orphaned as a child and thencehas some background on parent-child separation as, withal toWalking Away, it is an experience she has gone through. Harper wastotally against this and therefore used a polemical style of writing,as she wanted to touch out this controversial issue to the public andto persuade people against it. Harper had a pioneering spirit and wasprepared to be the first of a kind. She was an vigorous part in theanti-slavery movement and used various poems including The SlaveMother to get her point across. When she was speaking up for what shebelieved her poetry became part of her efforts to causal agency againstslav... ...f what ahs happened.Both poems have explored the common theme of parent-child separationvery well. They alike both had an effect on me, although both indifferent ways. In The Slave Mother I was quite shocked and almost disgusted at what the captors had done t o this poor mother whose onlypossession was her son. I also felt a lot of sorrow for the mother. InWalking Away I also felt sorry for the parent who was loosing theirson. However the whole poem did not sadden me, but rather comfort meby the fact that some losses are purely raw(a) and that it issomething that most of us can relate to. Both poems - especially TheSlave Mother - help me to form a vivid picture in my mind of the twopoems. Although both poems were outstanding my favourite out of thetwo would be Walking Away as I feel it is something I can or will beable to relate to.
