I have chosen to write about two poems. The first of theseis The break ones back Mother written by Frances E.W. Harper, written in themid 1800s. It explores the idea of a black slave mother having herson stolen from her. The second poem I will study is Walking Away byC. Day Lewis. Both show the difficulties of Parent-Child separation.However The striver Mother is much more violent and distressing asoppose to Walking Away where there is no mention of violence at all.Frances E. W Harper wrote The Slave Mother at a time when blackswere being severely discriminated against. Societ y and American Law atthe time promoted slavery. She was orphaned as a child and thereforehas some orbit on parent-child separation as, similarly 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 point 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 active 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 persist againstslav... ...f what ahs happened.Both poems have explored the common theme of parent-child separationvery well. They also both had an effect on me, although both indifferent ways. In The Slave Mother I was quite shocked and almostdisturbed at what the captors had done to this poor mother whose onlypossession was her son. I also snarl 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 non sadden me, but rather comforted meby the fact that some losses are purely natural and that it issomething that most of us can plug in 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 positron emission tomography out of thetwo would be Walking Away as I feel it is something I can or will beable to tie in to.
