the Have An Animal Related Theme Essay Example

'Like wet gloves the bobbed and shone'. Also 'They turned dry and crisp like old summer dung' gives and excellent picture of the texture of the kittens.Some lines rhyme but also some echo each other.Although 'The Horses' has no rhyme scheme and no definite structure the lines run on from each other like a story. I find that this makes it harder to read because of the punctuation at the end of the line.

I prefer 'The Early Purges' to 'The Horses' because the way he describes the kittens before and after is very good. 'The Horses' is also good because it also gives good detail about the happenings 'A deepening drumming' and I find it more complex to understand.In both poems its talks about death and destruction when in the 'The Early Purges' it talks about Dan Taggart shooting crows and snaring rabbits and in 'The Horses' there is dead bodies on the warship heading north.The fear in the poems comes back like when they see the horses they are afraid and when he sees the three dead kittens turn old and dry. There is however a difference that in 'The Horses' the animals help the people even though they had done wrong and in 'The Early Purges' Dan Taggart kills the animals and they have done nothing wrong.
