The poem indicates the advantages of love which are care, comfort and happiness. The poet compares the joyful of love like a heaven in hell. On the other hand, There are some disadvantages of love such as commitment and discomfort. Conversely, it is like hell in heaven.
The story shows a young couple who were in a foreign country. They seemed to enjoy each other until they know that the girl was pregnant. The baby would be a big responsibility for them. They tried to figure out what to do. The American wanted the girl to do an abortion but the girl did not want to. So they both were struggling each other.
These two writing are similar in the way they show pros and cons of love. It gives not only joy but sadness. It might be happy in the beginning and unhappy in the end. These two writings give a good moral to readers.
Thank you for posting this, Chanida.
ReplyDeletePlease remember when comparing stories to name the author and work in the first paragraph (the first sentence is fine). In this case, that means you must name both authors and both works. ;-)
By the way, I would like to recommend that you read my comparison on the instructor's blog if you haven't already.
