"Then" is used in an "if-then" scenario, to dictate chronological order. In other words, "If you jump off, then you will fall," or "he was attacked and then retreated."
"Than" is used for comparisons. In other words, "The egg was bigger than the pea," or "I'm stronger than you."

Normally than is comparing something like this "Steve wanted a red shirt rather than a blue shirt." "i like swimming every now and then" "he said it then why wouldn't he say it now?" "i would rather eat fish than frog." <span />

What’s the differences and similarities between the poems “blackberry pickin” and “burning the old year”.

EleoNora [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Both poems address the idea that all things have an end and that this is inevitable. In “blackberry pickin” we can see that the happiness of harvesting fresh fruits in the summer has an end, as well as the fruits themselves, which do not last forever. As “burning the old year,” it shows that what we accumulate during the year should be reviewed and thrown away if it is no longer useful.

Poems also have differences. While "blackberry pickin" shows the purpose of things as painful, "burning the old year," shows it as a fresh start.
