Ajeth 1 / - Jan 18, 2012 #1DaddyYou do not do, you do not doAny more, black shoeIn which I have lived like a footFor thirty years, poor and white,Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.Do not go gentle into that good nightDo not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rage at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.I don't know where to begin when comparing and contrasting these two poems, I NEED HELP!
EF_Susan - / 2334 12 Jan 19, 2012 #2Well, what do you know about the authors? For example, Sylvia Plath was greatly affected by the death of her father when she was very young, and it showed in her poetry throughout her whole life. Dylan Thomas was writing about the death of his father also, but in a much different way, imploring him to fight off death. I don't know of any other poem of his which mentions the death of his father, but there may be some. I think you'll have an easier time with this project if you look into the lives of the poets.:)
