A theme can always change and make so much impact on a person’s life it just depends on the person behind the words. Stories can have the same theme, but they have different influences on the person reading them. Many things can differentiate stories which have the same theme such as writing style, mood, wording and much more. Most stories don’t have the same emotion because of the different reasons why each one was written.

However; in Brooks poem it’s just comparing and contrasting the two lives of two women and while this story is playing on the theme of family relationship it’s the opposite of the other poem whereas instead of having it be about suicide it’s about living and struggling through troubles of African American women that some can have their education while others stay at home and don’t get the opportunity because of their skin color.

Both have different main topics that create their poems of family relationships with their topics of suicide, education, and living with the struggles of being an African american
