Compare and contrast two poems that contain different representations :: English Literature:

Comp be and contrast two verse forms that contain different representationsof school savants.Comprehensive is a representation of a comprehensive school, in the stylus that the diverse mixture of cultures are included in the poem.Each pupil has a different life and culture, and the pitfalls ofcomprehensive schools are clearly sh knowledge by the port in which each pupilis represented.The first pupil is African, and homesick, and is not happy in England.It seems as though she misses her culture, and feels as though she isorganism stifled by the British culture. This is also true of In WhichThe Ancient record I learn Is Not My Own. The son represented inthis poem is homesick, and also feels stifled by the British culture,due to the fact that he is being almost forced into it, thus notallowing him to enjoy his own Irish culture.
