Answer:
Both poems speak of hardworking people who dedicate themselves to their activities and work for their own survival, but remain lively and admirable.
Explanation:
"Chicago" is the poem written by Carl Sandburg that presents the city of Chicago as a place of hardworking, responsible and lively people. In this poem the author agrees with the idea that Chicago has many problems such as violence, crimes and poverty, but that does not erase the fact that the inhabitants of Chicago are admirable people.
"My Mother Enters the Work Force" was written by Rita Dove and features a woman who is forced to work to support her daughter and herself. This woman's salary is very low and although she and her daughter live with limitations and difficulties, she is very lively and dedicated to the responsibilities she has.
