Question

In at least one hundred words, compare the experience of the Vietnam War presented in Muriel Ruckeyser's "Poem"

Answer 1

Both the poems describe the war in different perspectives.

Explanation:

• Muriel Rukeyser expresses her grief about the war and the sad stories which were published in the newspaper every morning. In the end end, she hoped there would be peace and love.
• David Lance Goines uses satire to express his views of horrors of war. It creates a sense of suspense which makes it  thrilling. His aggressive arguments give us a sense of the brutality of the war.
• Rukeyser's poem takes a passive approach to reveal the aftermath of war but Goines poem takes a violent approach.
