The two poems I decided to pick for my comparison research paper this week are, “The Mother” and “This Is Just To Say.” I chose to pick “The Mother” because it was one that caught my attention from the first moment I started reading it. I also chose it because it is a common topic in the society today. I decided to pick “This Is Just To Say,” even though it was one of the shortest poems I ever read. I chose this poem because it is similar to the poem The Mother. They are similar because in the poems they are taking something from someone. In The Mother, the parent is having an abortion, and taking life away from an unborn child and/or children. On the other hand in This Is Just To Say someone is taking food from another person that did not belong to them. Those are the two poems I chose to pick this week.

The poem, “The Mother” conveys one of the most talked about topics in today's society. It is not only one of the most talked about topics, but it is something that is found to be very difficult. The message or theme it conveys is abortion. This poem can be very relatable to many people who have made that decision once in their life or for someone who has at least thought about making a decision such as an abortion. Although the topic is very sensitive it does not at any point violate the decisions other people might choose to make.
In the poem, “The Mother” by Gwendolyn Brooks, and “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos William, they both make sure that they present a vivid picture that appeals to the readers. They make sure we are able to understand what they are saying. For example in This Is Just To Say the author gives use a chance to someone eating a plum and apologizing for it. It also can give you the image of someone writing it as an apology letter because they took something that does not belong to
