Comparison of Mid-Term Break, The Field Mouse, and On My First Sonne Es

Comparison of Mid-Term disruption, The Field Mouse, and On My First SonneThe supra poems are written by 3 different people and on reading themthey seem to be or so very different things. provided at heart, they areabout conclusion and the pain that appears afterwards. Seamus HeaneysMid-Term Break is a memory of his four-year-old brothers death.Gillian Clarkes The Field Mouse is about death in a politicalconflict compared to a death in nature. Fin entirelyy On My First Sonne byBen Johnson is about the death of his son and the religious affect ofthe situation.Both Heaney and Johnsons poems are about the death of a close loveone and how it is dealt with emotionally and in domain. On looking atthe human action of Heaneys poem, you almost immediately assume that is ahappy one, possibly about what he spends his holidays doing. This ofcourse is not the case.Unlike the other two poems, you do not know immediately who has diedor even if there is a death. Throughout the poem he keeps us guessingwhat is happening. He gives us a clue and we have to piece it togetherlike a detective putting a jigsaw puzzle together to resolve a crime.Also the fact that it is a memory and he is talk about himself as achild states how badly it would have bear on him and his parentsemotionally. Through Heaney duologue about the reaction of all his familymembers to his brothers death, Johnson only talks about how his sonsdeath affected him.You can see that since the deceased was his rootage son, that he is hitemotionally very hard and seems to blame himself, provided at the same timeconsulates himself by thinking that he has gone to a better place.Line 5 O, could I loose all father now. For why. seems to indicatethat he has lost a... ...connection that the rest ofus plausibly would not.I feel the poem that sincerely explains the situation well is SeamusHeaneys Mid-Term Break as it keeps the person in suspense over whohas died, but delivers a shock at the end when we find out w ho itreally is. This really mixes your emotions and unlike the other 2makes you feel sorry for a death that happened over 20-30 years ago. Ialso feel it is better because it focuses on the actually death. whileHealey does fill in these criteria.Clarkes poem compares the killing of a field mouse to the killings inthe Bosnian War. Though this is clever, it does not show the badthings in the Bosnian War as in reality the killing of one field mousecannot really be literally compared to the massive killings involvingthe Muslims. The above reasons are why I think boilersuit Seamus Heaneyspoem is the best.
