I can explain how Clarke presents internal parental conflict in her poem.
Show transcript
'Catrin' is a personal poem reflecting Clarke's own relationship with her daughter.
'Catrin' reflects the internal conflict parents face as their children grow.
Clear comparisons can be made to 'Poppies' as both poems focus on parental conflicts.
Whilst 'Catrin' focuses on one conflict between parent and child, the message is a timeless one.
