Question

What similar messages do the poems identity and to a daughter leaving home" share about the role of independence in creating an identity

Answer 1

Answer: The messages of spirituality, Identity/self and journey

Explanation: The poem "Identity" talks about how the speaker would rather be himself, even If people see him as ugly, weird, and creepy, just like an ugly weed, than being someone "perfect" for society, and be tied to expectations just to have approval. On the other hand, in the poem "To a daughter leaving home," the speaker tells her journey as a mother from raising their daughter, to watching her find their way and part from home one day. Both poems share a message of spirituality, Identity/self and journey.
