Courage

We have been reading Anne Sexton's poem, "Courage" and Rudyard Kipling's poem "If". Both poems deal with the theme of courage. Which poem appeals most to you and explain why. Consider what the poet says and how each poet expresses his/her viewpoint.


The pem that appeals most to me is the courage poem. Because its talking about what people go threw in life and how much it can hurt you...Its talking about what people go threw in like like harshness and abuse and stuff... This poem stands out more for me then if this was a great poem and i liked it alot..

Kipling used son and man at the end of the poem is because his son is turning in to a man!By being mature and not lieing to people and being mean. No it does not because a girl can nnot be a man. A kid can't be a man to. You always hear father's telling there son one day u will become a man.The father should show responsabiltys and leadeship so his son can follow his foot steps. I think this poem can relate to anyone.

I think it changed her life alot because now she can talk to people. And befor he couldn't be able to talk to people and people were telling his mom to give up on him but she didn't.Even thought he could not talk or walk or sit up on his own he could still wright with his left foot.
