Show transcript
The poets initially use barren and inhospitable settings to reflect despairing and hopeless emotions. The poets initially show fragmented relationships but these progress in different ways throughout each poem. Sheers is the only poet to shift to a more hopeful tone when the couple are eventually unified. Comparison questions require you to focus firstly on key ideas and then explore how the writers convey these ideas. A single paragraph outline is an effective way to structure a comparative analysis paragraph.
