“A discussion on the theme of life in, Spoon River Anthology”
There are many reasons and themes in spoon river. The 3 poems I picked had many life events that would go hand in hand in what happens in life of present day.

He speaks of how he always use to be in charge but in the war that time has passed as he no longer has the will to fight to be in
