Comparative Poetry Analysis
comparative of two collections poems
Introduction
Tone
"Problems with Hurricanes" the author gives me a fell to watch out for falling fruit that can kill you, which gives me a funny view on the story and funny that some people have this problem. For example in lines 32-35, the poet says, "If your going out/ beware of mangoes/ and all such beautiful/sweet things." Unlike "Problems with Hurricanes", "Sleeping in the Forest" gives me a negative feel and a positive feel and mostly creepy& mysterious , because its about her dying then she came back to life better. For instance in lines 17-16, the poet says, "I had vanished at least a dozen times/ into something better."
