Comparing “Mid-term Break” and “The Early Purges”

Have a little read: ... Comparing "Mid-term Break" and "The Early Purges" The two poems I have looked at are both wrote by Seamus Heaney, they both deal with death but in very different ways. One poem is set in the countryside and shows that death is part of the life there; the other is set in the city and shows how hard a family member dieing is. Both poems are very emotional because one poem involves kittens and the other involves a young child, they are both young and innocent. The first poem is called "The Early Purges"; the word "Purges" means to clear or sort out, this suggests the poem will be about clearing or getting rid of something. The first word of the poem is "I" from this we can tell it is a personal experience; this makes us more involved in the poem. The poet tells us about when he "first saw kittens
